Re: What are your thoughts on Ian?

  • I like, but I'm a plain name fan.  Your other choices are good, too.

  • I love it. I would be considering it on my boy's name list if I hadn't dated an Ian...

  • I like it a lot.  My cousin and his wife just had a little boy named Ian Arthur.  Love it!

  • Hate, love Nathaniel :) Ian has no substance.

  • Love Ian, but I think Elliot and Nathaniel are much more interesting.  Overall, I like your style!

  • Love it! It's at the top of my list right now. So is Elliott, another one I love. Ian is what I would have been named, had I been a boy.

  • All three of your top choices are on our list. I love Ian, but I feel like I'm hearing it everywhere lately, which is making me like it less.

  • Love it! Ian would be on our list but my sister's nephew (through my BIL) is Ian so it would be a little strange. I also think it sounds great with Henry!

  • I like it. I think it's refreshing. I went to grade school/part of high school with one, and everyone really liked him. I only know of one other Ian, and he's 2-ish. Other than them, I've never met/heard of another.

     I like it much better than Elliot, and better than Nathaniel (though not better than the nickname "Nate").

  • Like it.  Would use it if it wasn't my BIL's name.
  • I don't feel strongly about Ian one way or the other, but I odn't think it's too common. I know one Ian IRL and he's in his thirties. Ian Lawrence sounds very nice together. The only name on your list I don't care much for is Elliott.

  • Love it; it's my DH's name!

  • I like it. It's grown on me a lot due to Ian Somerhalder. 

    Ian Lawrence is nice. A bit plain for my tastes, but not bad at all.
    I love Nathaniel, and I like Elliot. But I don't think they'd work with Lawerence...too many Ls. 

  • I prefer Elliot & Nathaniel. Just not a fan of Ian.

  • I LOVE the name Ian (obviously since that is what I named my son). DH was pushing for Evan and I am so glad we chose Ian because I know 6!!!! little Evans and no Ians. I get compliments on his name all the time!

    Elliott is another of my favourite names, but I am hesitant to use it since I know people who are considering it for a GIRL! GRRRRR.
