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'.

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)

Phillip is a perfectly respectable name, but who do you think you are to suggest a sith lord as an honorable mention name?

Rodney, after Dave.

Call him? Or name him? How many syllables in the complicated last name?

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.

So… it’s almost April. You really gonna name the kid Wash?

We're probably going with something from Battlestar Galactica.

Payton, Dayton, Craydon, Haden, Mark, Matthew, Luke, John, aaaand Moses!

Here's for something that actually fits: Thorkild (silent d, and th can be a t) meaning the arrow of Thor.

I don't think that it would be a good idea, but how about "The Doctor"?
