Iaian would be very confusing because you spell two of the syllables the same way ('ia') but would want people to pronounce them differently. Iain is better, and regular IAN even better. I think that spelling a name differently on purpose leads more to confusion than to uniqueness. If the name is still said the same way, then it really isn't anymore unique than Ian or Aiden, just harder to spell for everyone.
Aiden is a darling name - I also like the spelling Aidan - but as has been pointed out, is hugely popular.
Someone suggested "Ion" instead of Ian, but that would be pronounced "on" at the end, not "ehn" like Ian. Plus it's the name of a car, plus it's the name of a physical element - it sounds like a character in a video game.
