I like
Ian much more.
Alan has so much "
Al" in it, and
Al sounds like older guy, friendly but sort of mediocre. It's a mild name, mild and smooth and reliable. The male version of
Ellen? hehe.
Ian sounds more bright and dynamic to me, and I guess it's getting dated, but it's not "old" at this point. It's not as preppy as
Sean, but more distinctive than
John.
These seem like they might be cliche but:
Ian Cameron Ian Malcolm
