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'.

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

Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

How about Medium Chungus

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!
