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'.

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.

As soon as I saw bronze age I thought of old Ea-Nasir, was very surprised he wasn't the point of this reply.
