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'.

If I may: a good name is good. a name that combines well with the surname is great. Think of Star Wars names: they are great because they mate good names and surnames. Han Solo Boba Fett Cassian Andor etc...

That said, my personal preference is something REALLY old, like Sargon, first ruler of Akkadian Empire, 2400BC. Bonus He/she/they could have also their own personal cuneiform name tattoo: 𒊬𒊒𒄀. Now tell me that's not cool.

good hunting.
