I've always thought it was a handsome name. It definitely doesn't need a nickname. I don't even know how you could get one from it. It's barely two syllables long-- sounds more like one really.
Some middle name suggestions:
Ian ArthurIan CharlesIan ConnorIan Diarmaid (ha, reminds me of
Ian McDiarmid.)
Ian Edward (I know someone with this name)
Ian GeorgeIan GrahamIan HenryIan JamesIan LewisIan MackenzieIan MichaelIan PatrickIan SamuelIan William
I like both
Ian and
John, but I think I'd prefer
Ian, just because
John is like the most common name ever (at least stereotypically so).
