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'll list a few that seem interesting to me. I have no idea whether they have religious origins, but they sound cool phonetically.

Felix Soren Ethan Kai Rowan Alex Isaac Levi Nico Kit Anakin River Logan Ari Ian

I don't know if those names would be appropriate for your area or culture or language or even laws, so I just provided a whole bunch in case a couple aren't suitable.

Hope this helps.

Isaac is a great pick as it can allude to Isaac Asimov, the father of robotics. Jules could also work for OP as Jules Verne is widely known as the father of science fiction.

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

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

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

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