Aidan Turner also plays the dwarf Kili in the incredible, awesome new Hobbit Trilogy. I really liked the movie, and Aidan Turner's portrayal was very good. I would probably never name a child Aidan, however, even though I like the Irish sound.
Bo Bice (of 'American Idol' fame) and wife Caroline gave this name to their son in 2005.
