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'.

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!
