Comment left Nov 01, 2009: "In a Power Rangers-like show called Kousoku Sentai (i.e. High-Speed Squadron) Turboranger in 1989 (and this has NOTHING to do with Power Rangers Turbo which is based on the 1996 Super Sentai program entitled 'Gekisou Sentai Carranger' which means 'Violent Speed Squadron Carranger'), the character of Youhei Hama, a.k.a. Blue Turbo, was renamed Ian when the show was aired in the Philippines." (Report as inappropriate)

Comment left Jul 21, 2009: "My first name is IAN too.
It wasn't picked out in the manner that others seem to have done. It was handed down through ancestry. In my family the names are passed on through the centuries and Ian will continue to be passed on down through the family. All my families names are passed on in this manner. I kinda like this family tradition and I think it is unfortunate names have lost their national and family origins as people just pick names they like the sound of with no reference, no regard to the ethnic origins of names or family traditions."

Comment left Jul 21, 2009: "My name is Ian. Growing up I was called Ian-peein'. Especially bad in the bathroom. "I see Ian peein'!!!" Not as funny. I heard of one guy who was laughing everytime someone said my name because "it is a stupid name". You'll be glad to know he is a piece of turd who has 3 kids at 19 and sells vacuum cleaners. He is unsuccessful. I have a degree, great job, and own a home. Who's laughing now?! Seriously folks, Ian is a great name for a boy, especially if you have a wierd or comical last name. I have only ever been known as "Ian". Not guys named Paul who are called Paulie, Paul B., Fat Paul, Paul from the Hood, etc..." (Report as inappropriate)

I heard that a kid i went to high school with said it the same way. The other three was Ian Zering or something like that, the person I was named after and myself. I do love my name and well i hope to one day find a person that says it the same, but till then i'll just enjoy my name and feel like i'm the only person in the world with it."

He was preparing for a mountain climb on K2. And so my parents honored him by naming me ian. I feel very lucky to have this name and im proud to carry this name." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Feb 12, 2009: "My son's name is Ian, and he is 2.5 years old. He says it so funny with his full middle and last name -- Ian Alistair McAnally.
I LOVE the name. My husband picked it out. His ancestors are Scottish. I did not know it was a version of John. Good to know.
Yes, some people mispronounce the name, but some people always mispronounce something.
I dislike common names -- when you call a common name 5-6 kids look at ya at school! :)" (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Dec 05, 2008: "It's a name with Irish Galeic origin, from Eoin, and in meaning 'God Is Gracious'. Iain and Ian formed from Gaelic Scottish spelling, also translated as John in Hebrew). Could 3 letters form a better name?" (Report as inappropriate)

Comment left Aug 28, 2008: "I absolutely love this name! I'm expecting a son this Fall and we are naming him Ian Michael... Ian means "God is gracious", and Michael is my husband's name, so it's just perfect. It's a strong, simple name... and since my hubby and I are both blonde with blue eyes, I am sure our little fella will fit the part perfectly! :)" (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Aug 10, 2008: "My son's first name is Ian. He is 3-months old and when we were expecting him, we sat down and thought of the perfect name for him. My hubby is so picky and he rejected most (if not all) of the names I came up with but when I suggested Ian he did not hesitate and said "yeah, lets go with that one!".
I also like it because my hubby's first initial is "I" and the letters I-A-N are part of my name: vIANey.
It's simple, strong, and fits his personality. He is so handsome! :-)" (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Jul 28, 2008: "I named my son, who is now 8 years old, Ian. I love this name & had it picked out for years before he was born. It is a simple, strong & classic name. Ian is the scottish form of John so it was a perfect way for us to name him after my husband without too much confusion, since my husband's name is John, my brother's name is John & my father-in-law is also John." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Jun 27, 2008: "My name is Ian. I didn't like it when I was younger, but now I love the fact that my name is not John, or Mike, or Bill. It took me a while to grow into it, and for a long time noone could get it. I was E-On, I-in, I-an. But now it fits and I love my name." (Report as inappropriate)
