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’.

We do live in a country with nice crinkley edges.
Megatron
- Not religious
- Not a surname
- Not a place
- Doesn’t rhyme with Aden
- Is a sci-fi name
The only issue little Megatron will ever face in life is the possibility of an Optimus Prime showing up some day, he’s otherwise right on the path to world domination, and who couldn’t love that? 😉
Although, they’ll call him Meg for short
And Starscream for a younger brother
The Autobots still haven’t stopped Sunny Megatron so the kid will probably be ok.
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.
If it’s a long complicated surname you can’t go wrong with a short simple first name. I’m gonna throw Sam into the ring, after our lord and saviour Samwise.
Please don’t name your kid Wash
How about Washington?
I hope you don’t go with your edit.
Andrew, after me
Excellent suggestion your grace
My wife won’t let me use “Kaladin,” the name of one of my favorite characters from Brandon Sanderson’s The Stormlight Archive series. But I think it’s an excellent name and has an easy nickname (Kal).
It sounds like a KDE program.
Call him something you can shorten to Kal. For example, my sister named her kid Callum, but they shorten it to Cal. I know it’s because my brother in law is a huge stormlight fan.
Spensa? Doomslug? (That one’s not the best kid name)
cornbread
Bless your heart!
Jimothy?
Billiam?
Tedward?
Agree with others who have suggested short names. Here’s 3, inspired by one guy!
Paul
Kyle
Dale
(I appreciate that Paul is in the Bible, but still…)
Clarify “Paul” with an appropriate middle name.
Paul Muadib McPatronyn-Matronymovich
Paul: What do you call the mouse shadow in the second moon?
Stilgar: We call that one Muad’Dib.
Paul: Could I be known as Paul Muad’Dib?
Stilgar: You are Paul Muad’Dib!
OOOH OOH WHAT ABOUT THE CAPTAIN!
Go with “Double Anus Hammer Wagon IV”
Damn it. My son was born a few weeks ago and we named him Robert. I feel like I’ve missed an opportunity there.
Egon
Dax
Ash
Declan
Dana
Kira
Miles
Leland
Zhora
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
…
Stormageddon.
In the New York tri-state area there was a well-known TV meteorologist named Frank Field. He had a son whom he named “Storm”. A bit on the nose if you ask me. Also, Storm went on to become a TV meteorologist himself.
What about my favourite, ‘HM Revenue and Customs’
