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'.

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? 😉

Our Savior Megatron is absolutely a religious name and blasphemy to name some fleshy lump with it.

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.
