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'.

Perhaps something gender neutral in case they wish to change their gender or name later in life

I have a Dutch friend who did this.

Named their child or changed their gender?

Chose gender neutral names on the off chance one of them was trans.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

yes

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

The friend's gender or the child's gender?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago

I am not trans or anything, but I expected that most would want a name change to move away from their old identity or something.
