Im having difficulty finding names I like. I need two - three names that roll off the tongue and wouldn't be out of place with a long hyphenated surname.

No religious names

No surnames

No places

Nothing that rhymes with Aden

Upvote good suggestions otherwise post ones. Bonus points if it's a sci-fi name.

Edit: lots of good suggestions, but I think I'm going with 'Wash'.

That would be a religious name. As I remember it was the guy who played with the lions.

Or do you mean the Stargate guy?

Then I think the name is approved as dual-use.

I think trying to draw a distinction between religious names and secular names is an exercise in futility. I have a New Testament name despite being an atheist with atheist parents. They just liked the way it sounded, and it's one of the most common first names in the US. Is it a religious name? Not to me!
