I'm in South Africa, and I know one Howard, one Douglas and a multitude of Ians. All of them nice people; two of the Ians are among my very closest friends, and I'd have named my son Ian without hesitation; unfortunately my SIL had recently divorced an Ian whom we were very fond of, and it would have looked like taking sides. Howard is my least favourite, but still OK: I'd have settled happily for Ian Howard Douglas.
