Looking for boy and girl names that go with the surname Dent 😁

It's a Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy reference 😀

Thank you! Thought I was missing a word play thing and have been muttering ‘Arthur Dent, Arthur Dent’ over and over!

Also going to need a small yellow fish as a pet.

Ro is brilliant.

Too busy laughing to type properly.

it sort of was a weird half pun in the original idea for the radio series. Half a dent in a Ford Prefect.
sorry that is next level nerdery.

Arthur. There really is no other answer

Pebbles16 · 25/02/2025 20:18

Love the Hitchhiker's references but I would suggest
Emily Dent
Alice Dent (Alice is my favourite girl name EVER)
Michael Dent
Thomas Dent

I think two to three syllable first names go very well with a one syllable surname. My sis and I have two syllable first names to our one syllable surname. Basically not Ann Dent or Tom Dent because that's just lands like a thud.

This.
But go for (if a girl) Rowena as it sounds absolutely fine until it gets shortened. More satisfying that way.
