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'.

IDK, does Thor or Odin count as a religious name? I always thought Yoda could work as a name.

On the completely awful side, why not Krys?

Trogdor?

I like the name Robert, because it can be shortened to Rob, or Robby or Bob or Bobby. And it means "bright fame." Tom is also a good name, and William or Bill.

Chalupa Batman.

Iggy... fun and certainly rolls right into a hyphenated name.

eg: Iggy Sampson Poindexter-McDuff

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.

I'm having a daughter at the end of April. We plan on calling her Dylan. You should name him Dylan then they would have a random stranger twin situation.

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