Adrian - thoughts?

This is not really a contender I don't think but DH mentioned it when we were initially talking about names and for some reason I can't get it out of my head. Initially I hated it - reminds me Adrian Mole, but I'm wondering if it is a good, solid name for a boy and a man?

Surname is very, very common so we are looking for something not over used, but not made up. We live in the Central Belt in Scotland and quite like surnamey, Scottish, or historical saints type names.

Is it awful? Are my hormones frying my brain? Blush

It's quite dated. Aidan or Hayden are very similar and probably more of the moment.

I love it, but then the 2 loves of my life are called Adrian (Adrian mole and my lovely DP) so I guess I'm biased.

Adrian Mole!
But then I can actually see it working as a solid Scot name so I kind of get where you are coming from. (Disclaimer: never actually been to Scotland).
But then Ade Edmonson is quite cool!
