How do you pronounce Ian? I know some people pronounce it "I"-an and some pronounce it "E"-an.

I prefer "E"-an. Anytime anyone says "I"-an it makes me think of Ian Zerring from 90210! Ack!

It's a very common name here (either as Ian or, less often, Iain) and always pronounced EE-an.

EE-yan.

I guess Iain is pronounced the same way? Anyone know? I read that Ioan is pronounced YO-an.
