From the experts:
Iago, the villain of Shakespeare's Othello, was so treacherously evil that his name has hardly ever been heard offstage. Try the much-more-benign Inigo.

Based on the movie Aladdin, I believe it's EE-yah-go.

I can't work out how to pronounce this!
"YAH-go",
"YAY-go",
"ee-AY-go",
or
"ee-AH-go"?

Cool name. Makes me think of Kenneth Branagh, which is never a bad thing. Plus Iago, despite his villainy, is actually my favourite character in "Othello", though I'm not sure I'd go as far as naming a son after him.

I had forgotten about the parrot.... However, I love the character!

I LOVE this name. I worry about it being forever tied to the parrot in Aladdin, however.
