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'.

Gul is a rank IIRC and Dukat is a villain, haha

fuck I always mess this up, thanks 😆

Ducat as a name sounds even cooler

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

[-] Colour_me_triggered@lemm.ee 2 points 11 months ago

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

Edit: Wait, that's not a surname, right?

Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

Name him whatever your great grandfather's middle name is.

[-] Goopadrew@beehaw.org 2 points 11 months ago

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 11 months ago

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)
