Sci-Fi based names?

[AlaskanSnow]

My DH watches all manner of these shite programmes and wants to name our child something outlandish.

I'm not completely opposed to having a less common name, and I'm prepared to listen to his ideas, but I'm hoping someone can suggest reasonably sensible names that I can put to him, because so far I'm not liking his suggestions. I'd like a real name rather than something totally made up for tv.

There is another thread about star wars/trek (which has made me brave enough to post this) so I'm good there. Think Stargate, Farscape, Continuum, Firely, Definance, Andromeda, etc
He does also like heroes based ones such as Arrow. Flash, Shield, etc.

Oh, we don't know what we are having, so need names suitable for each please.

Keira (Continuum?)
Aeryn (Farscape though will be a spelling nightmare!)
Thea (Arrow)
Selina (Batman)

Jay (Flash - could shorten from James)
Clark (Superman)
Kyle (Green Lantern)
Logan (Wolverine)

Gipsey you sound like a clone of my dh, loves ff and resi evil. I think he would call our incoming dc sephiroth if he thought I might agree

wine just made me remember more, Tifa, Airth, Barret, Yuffie

DD's first name nn is Callie (nod to Cally from Battlestar Galactica) Teagan (nod to Tegan, doctor who companion)

Other Sci fi names we considered -

Kara (BSG)
Kaylee (Firefly)
River (Firefly)
Skye (Agents of Shield)
Saffron (Firefly)

Robin (Batman)
Mal (Firefly)
Beckett (Stargate)

Fox
Fox
Fox

E.t?

My son's name is Jed - he has a bog-standard middle name beginning with M, but an imaginative friend suggested that had we given him a middle name beginning with I, like Ivan or Ivo, he could have been Jed I. Surname.

Our daughter is named after Ellen Ripley from the Alien movies, who is the coolest female character in any film ever, IMHO. But she has a nice "normal" name. Maybe one to consider?

Not a huge sci-fi fan, but here is what I can add:

Deanna- (as in Troy from Enterprise)
Kess- I think?- from Voyager
Cordelia- Buffy
Darla- Buffy
Drusilla- Buffy
Juliet- the actress that played the above
Lyla- Buffy

Paris- after Tom Paris from Voyager
Riley- Buffy
Angelus- Buffy
Lorne- Angel
Vincent- as in Kartheiser from Angel
Connor- Angel

Sevenofnine would make a lovely middle name...

My DH is a fan of Arrow - our daughter is Thea

From Farscape: Aeryn, Chiana, Moya

Boys names are less easy - I think D'Argo or Scorpius would be tricky to carry off!

I like the first suggestion being Data, that was my DP's preferred name for a boy. Except she turned out to be a girl and we named her a shorter version of B'E'lana.

Trillian

B'elanna - ST Voyager
Keira - Continuum
Irisa - Defiance

But stumped on good boys names

Nerys - Star Trek
Tyr - Andromeda
Alia - Dune

Or what about a star or constellation name? (possibly not Betelgeuse.)

I watch a few Sci-Fi/Fantasy shows, these are the ones I can think of that aren't too common.

Boy:
Quentin (Arrow)
Noah (Arrow)
Jonas (Stargate)
Quinn (Stargate)
Harrison (Flash)
Julian (Flash)
Hunter (Flash)
Carter (Flash)
Harvey (Farscape)

Girl:
Thea (Arrow)
Elena (Agents of Shield)
Iris (Flash)
Lyla (Flash)
Jasmine (Continuum)
Regan (Firefly)

I tend to find that sometimes the smaller/recurring characters have prettier names than the main characters in those types of shows.

Nyota

Uhura

Has anyone said Seren? It's Welsh for star, but could your DH be convinced it's short for Serenity (Firefly)?

Ford? Arthur? Zaphod at a stretch but probably not Slartibartfast.
