What should I call my son (due at the end of April) (lemm.ee)

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'.

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.
