Christian nn Ian? vs. yes vs. no

Please Please Please help us with this one! One of my favorite names is Ian, but my husband’s favorite name is Christian. Is Ian a nickname for Christian? If it is, that would solve a lot of our problems!!! My husband’s name is Chris (short for Christopher, not Christian), so we wouldn’t call the baby Chris as to avoid confusion. Do you think that Ian is a stretch for a nickname for Christian? I know Ian is a real name - but does it look like we’re trying to hard to use it as nickname? Do I sound completely crazy?!! Please give me you opinions on this - Thanks so much!

Help! I love the name Guinevere, but I can't think of a really good brother and sister name for her. Since Guinevere is so empowering, I want the next names to be powerful as well. Thanks, Genie!
Baby Name Genie:
You seek the Holy Grail of names. Let me help you in your quest. The brother of fair Guinevere will fight on foot with swords aplenty, but on his horse he'll surely lance a lot. Name him Edward for a regal name. A sister could be dubbed Katherine if greatness is what you desire.
