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'.

I don't have any suggestions myself but this site might help.

You already have a bunch of suggestions, here are a few more of my favorite sci-fi names/characters that I didn't see...

Hari / Salvor (both from Asimov's Foundation series) Rico (from Heinlein's Starship Troopers) Leto / Duncan (both from Herbert's Dune) Ender (from Card's Ender's Game series) Filip (from Corey's The Expanse series)

Honorable mentions Fry (Futurama) Jar-Jar (Binks)

Recently I am partial to the name: Arthur

Name him whatever your great grandfather's middle name is.

My wife and I ended up having a girl, but the names we were thinking of if we had a boy were Apollo or Layton. Those probably don't need your criteria, but just throwing it out there!

Name trends tend to skip generations. So if you look to the names of your grandparents generation and use them, there'll be loads of them old names in their class at school.
