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'.

Non religious is pretty hard, but non biblical is way easier. BTW, you mean English names?

My other kids have greek Turkish and Persian names so not necessarily.

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!

[–] Masamune@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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

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