Since Chinese [and other Asian] cultures place a great emphasis on good fortune and success, it is believed to be a good practice to give your kid a head start when choosing their names.

Then look up top California names. Pick a name that's popular back east, but not popular in California, for example Sebastian, Henry, Lucy, Charlotte, and Amelia are not that popular here in L.A. Then you only have to worry about the names being too popular if your kid goes back east to college. My favorite states top 100 lists are from Vermont, Minnesota, and Wisconsin. I'm glad I get to live in L.A. though, because I just love it!
