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'.

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!

Call him? Or name him? How many syllables in the complicated last name?

Name trends tend to skip generations. So if you look to the names of your grandparents generation and use them, there'll be loads of them old names in their class at school.

Arcturus.
Alphonso.

We're probably going with something from Battlestar Galactica.

Payton, Dayton, Craydon, Haden, Mark, Matthew, Luke, John, aaaand Moses!

Here's for something that actually fits: Thorkild (silent d, and th can be a t) meaning the arrow of Thor.

I don't think that it would be a good idea, but how about "The Doctor"?
