Yes, me! I've only ever encountered it on real, ethnic Scots, and the way they say it, it's identical with the less elaborate Ian. EE-an, in fact.

Your ee-AYN/ EE-ayn idea sounds more Welsh than Scottish ... how do you spell the wonderful y-eye-yan ... there was an international rugby player a few years ago ... and I'm having a geriatric moment!
