What Are Some Futuristic Names

What are some futuristic male names?

If you've read The Grapes of Wrath, you probably remember Ros'a'sharn, which was the slurred Oklahoma-accented Rose-of-Sharon, a name based on a biblical reference.  If you read "Sharon" you think little of it, but if you read "Rose of Sharon" and pick up that it's a person's name, you realize that if nothing else the culture is different from what you are familiar with and "Ros'a'sharn" is even further afield.The same can used in sf.  Shortening or lengthening familiar names can make them almost familiar yet different.   Game of Thrones does this over and over again:  Eddard, Joffrey, Rickon, etc.

What are some good futuristic character names?

I'm going to assume that you want to name a human character or characters, since if you're trying to name Vulcans or Minbari or Wookiees, their names and cultures are fictional as it is so almost anything could be a futuristic name for them. This really depends on a number of different factors, including culture, distance in the future, and the history of that future. Language changes over time as do societies and cultures, and naming trends in societies and cultures tend to follow these shifts. So, you'll have to have some idea of what kind of world your characters are living in. A future society that has turned against technology might value old fashioned, traditional names like "Edith", "Howard", "Josiah", or "Margaret". A cyberpunk future where everyone is constantly connected to the internet might trend toward names like "Hash", "L33T", "Meme", or "Pix". Maybe your future society isn't all that different from our own and has a blend of traditional and new while parents continue to push the boundaries in search of new, "unique" names, like "Yunik", "Adlyson", "Dayde", or "Kezzamyn".If you want to look at some examples in literature, Anne McCaffrey's Dragonriders of Pern series features a human society hundreds of years removed from us. The first colonist of Pern have names that are familiar to us, like Emily, Sean, and Paul. After 2000+ years on this isolated planet, the names have changed but many are still somewhat familiar, like "Robinton", "Menolly", "Lessa", and "Naton". One of the original settlers was a man by the name of Joel Liliencamp. Five hundred years later, we meet a man named Jol Liliencamp. And another 1500+ years after that, there's a character named Jayge Lilcamp. I think McCaffrey did a particularly good job of guessing how her society's language and names could have changed over the intervening years.
