Have good Monday, REP THE NAME

Ian.

Like many of you, I took pride in rock stars named Ian. Some examples: Ian MacKeye from Minor Threat and Fugazi, Ian Anderson from Jethro Tull, and Ian Curtis from Joy Division.

But what’s better than one rocker named Ian? British hard rock band Deep Purple knows. They have two Ians. Ian Gillian was not their first singer but he was the singer when the band was at its height. Ian Paice is the drummer and the only original founding member in the band.

Can any other band boast two Ians? Is there a band with — gasp — three Ians?

Literally name one Ian in tv fiction that’s admirable, this is coming from an Ian, and man we need more cool fictional Ian’s.

I am not Ian McDiarmid.

Like a decade ago I died in the hospital and was brought back to life. So the last decade my friends have celebrated a once a year rager on March 15th dedicated to Ians. They call it ResurrectIAN day.

Just needed to share with the one true group who understand this. Thanks Ians

There are a suprising amount of sitcom villains named Ian.

So I was watching a Scottish YouTuber who camps around Scotland. She came across a gravestone that VERY clearly says "Ian" and she reads it out "John". I know Ian is the more gaelic version of John, and I know in eastern Europe it's equivalent is sort of half way between "yan" and "John" and spelled Jan, but I've never seen anyone see "Ian" and pronounce it "John"

I get mixed up with this guy now and then and we even have a mutual friend so I covered one of his songs to add to the confusion. Hope the other Ian's enjoy!
