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'.

My wife won’t let me use “Kaladin,” the name of one of my favorite characters from Brandon Sanderson’s The Stormlight Archive series. But I think it’s an excellent name and has an easy nickname (Kal).

Call him something you can shorten to Kal. For example, my sister named her kid Callum, but they shorten it to Cal. I know it's because my brother in law is a huge stormlight fan.

It sounds like a KDE program.

Spensa? Doomslug? (That one's not the best kid name)
