It's certainly less popular than John but it's been in the top 100 (in the US anyway) for about twenty-five years. "Too common" is a matter of personal taste, I think, and I'd generally aim for a name that's outside the top 100. Of the top 100 names though Ian is definitely one of my favourites. My fiance likes more common names though and if we were really in a dispute, I could concede to Ian.

Has Ian really been in the top 100 in the US for twenty-five years? I was under the impression that its popularity had only begun to rise here more recently than that, say within the last ten years.

Yes, but it hasn't been terribly close to the top of the list. It seems to hover around the 70-80 range. Hopefully this link works - http://www.ssa.gov/OACT/babynames/
