Boys names ending in -ian...please
DH likes Christian and Sebastian. I am not terribly crazy about either of them, but do think they both have strong sounds, which I guess I kind of like.
Any other suggestions ending in -ian or -tian?
TIA!

These are all from the Submitted Names Database (http://www.behindthename.com/submit/), as Phoebe has already given you a link to all the -ian names from the main database of BtN. Also, most of the names are of latinate origin. Some of them are too long-winded and cumbersome, I suppose, but there are a few real gems among them. :)
