[Opinions] Re: Ian or Alan?
in reply to a message by Felie
I think I prefer Ian. It just comes across as more relatable. Alan seems more dated and is most often used as a middle name now, though is not a bad name by any means. I have nothing against it. I knew an Ian whom I went to school with and another one whose name was spelled with an E instead Ean. I absolutely never cared for that spelling

I never viewed the names as similar. I admit, they have the same ending but it isn't something to an overwhelming extent. I went to school with an Ian and an Ethan (good friends) and yeah, that would cause plenty of teachers to confuse their names, even for a brief moment.
