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’.

Slartibartfast?
We do live in a country with nice crinkley edges.
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.
I hope you don’t go with your edit.
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).
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)

Jimothy?
Billiam?
Tedward?
I believe you have been watching too many Dr. Glaucomflecken videos, my friend.
I don’t know what that is, but now I feel like I should find out.
Update: I found it. I know nothing about being a doctor, but he’s still funny.
Hahaha, he’s great. Jimothy is one of his most common side characters. And he uses your naming convention for lots of his other side characters. Jimothy, Todrick, etc.

Bless your heart!
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!
What about my favourite, ‘HM Revenue and Customs’

Damn it. My son was born a few weeks ago and we named him Robert. I feel like I’ve missed an opportunity there.
Chungus
Pubert!
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.
Meredith.
After Meredith McKay.
The Captain.Perhaps something gender neutral in case they wish to change their gender or name later in life
I am not trans or anything, but I expected that most would want a name change to move away from their old identity or something.
I have a Dutch friend who did this.
Named their child or changed their gender?
Chose gender neutral names on the off chance one of them was trans.
