I don't like Ian either. I just don't like the way it sounds. In the United States, it has been seen as the quintessential British name. (When I worked as a telemarketer, every single Ian I reached had a British accent.) This has given it a certain panache here. But that's sure to change as the name becomes more popular, which it has been.
A two syllable middle name would be best, but I can't do better than that. I'm not good at coming up with middle names.
I can't think of any nicknames. It really doesn't need one.
I'd prefer John, which isn't a big favorite of mine, but I really just don't like Ian.
