Why doesn't anyone like the name Eyan?

this. Ian is lovely, no need to mess it up.
^^ Agreed.
Eyan looks like the parents didn't know how to spell Ian / Iain or they were dumbing the spelling down for others. I also want to emphasize the EYE sound when I see it written down. In general, I don't care for kr8if spellings and feel they take away from the integrity of a name. JMHO. Eoin isn't bad, but it's not pronounced the same as Ian / Iain either. It's pronounced Owen.
Hope this helps.

Whether it is or isn't cool is not the point. Eyan, apart from looking like Eeyore's cousin, suggests the sound IEan, rather than EEan.
There is of course Iain as an alternative to Ian. Just as Owen is an alternative to Eoin. But the alternative is only in the spelling, not the pronunciation.
If you really need an alternative pronunciation, I recommend the marvellous Ieuan.
