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’.

Keeping the rule of shorter first name with longer/complicated last name, I picked a few from my future pet possibility list. Pets names at our house generally have sci-fi origins.
Odo
Bashir
Samanthan

Morge
Corl
Constantine?
The Captain.I’m very partial to early bronze age names.
Epirmupi
Manishtushu
Tiglath
Inshushinak
Labarna
Naramsin
If you look at the Sumerian or Elamite king lists, you really can’t go wrong.
Manishtushu is nearly the worst name i have ever seen. Kids would absolutely wreck that guy all the way to college.
People are going to make fun of the conqueror of Anshan, King of Kish, Ruler of Sumer and Akkad? That seems unlikely to me.
Man-ish tush-u. It aint hard to see why the kid would grow to hate his name.
He’ll have to get tough or die
Bill or George or anything but Manishtushu, I still hate that name!

Y u no Ea-Nasir
As soon as I saw bronze age I thought of old Ea-Nasir, was very surprised he wasn’t the point of this reply.
Titus
Emmett
Iggy… fun and certainly rolls right into a hyphenated name.
eg: Iggy Sampson Poindexter-McDuff
a wild jojo fan?
You have to be more specific.
I like this Jo Jo… She’s from my home town.
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.
yes
The friend’s gender or the child’s gender?
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.
Slartibartfast?
We do live in a country with nice crinkley edges.
Qrs Tuvwxyz.
A great name if you want your son to go into the business of forks and marbles.
And, I’ve just found out, very easy to remember how to spell.
Careful with that, might catch Captain Janeway’s attention (I’m imagining it pronounced Quisses Tuvwiks).
Nearly. The first name is pronounced “Chris”. Doubt that’ll stop a Starfleet captain with a bloodlust for innocent victims of transporter accidents though.
If I may: a good name is good. a name that combines well with the surname is great. Think of Star Wars names: they are great because they mate good names and surnames. Han Solo Boba Fett Cassian Andor etc…
That said, my personal preference is something REALLY old, like Sargon, first ruler of Akkadian Empire, 2400BC. Bonus He/she/they could have also their own personal cuneiform name tattoo: 𒊬𒊒𒄀. Now tell me that’s not cool.
good hunting.
I’m not tattooing my infant son.
