my novel takes place on earth in the distant future. there’s robots, androids, high-tech guns, self-driving cars, etc. everything’s kinda peaceful ( but not for long obvi ).
everyone calls the main character by his last name, solis. so i need a futuristic sounding first name to go with ‘solis’. maybe include some interesting middle names? he doesn’t need a middle name but…'ya never know.
sorry if this seems a little all over the place. i’m writing this in the middle of the night because it’s really bugging me that he doesn’t have a full name yet.
thank you for any and all name suggestions! ^-^
Someone posted a thread asking for futuristic male names a few weeks ago so I figured I’d recycle those names here. I think a lot of them have a futuristic feel to it.

I think it’s best to not go overboard with making the name sound futuristic – by which I mean, I would avoid too many x’s, y’s, and z’s (although one of these per name could still be very cool), brand names (these will probably just date your story), or space-y names (these can be a bit heavy-handed). If he’s a hot detective, you’re probably going to want a short, cool, masculine name – nothing very fancy. Only a very few of my suggestions would have more than 2 syllables.
From the previous poster, I second:
[name_m]Evander[/name_m]

For my own suggestions, how about any of these?
[name_m]Adlai[/name_m]
[name_m]Cael[/name_m]/[name_m]Kael[/name_m]/etc. (alternatively, [name_u]Cal[/name_u] – can be a standalone name or short for all sorts of things)
[name_m]Ludo[/name_m]/[name_m]Ludek[/name_m]
[name_m]Harlan[/name_m]
[name_m]Enzo[/name_m] (by itself or short for [name_m]Lorenzo[/name_m], [name_m]Vincenzo[/name_m], etc.)
