20 baby names inspired by California

Just "Alto" sounds a little more minimalist hipster than yuppie engineer.

The ultimate California name.

We've got lots of it. Why not name a baby after it?

Sounds classy, right?

Because no one would actually name their kid "Stanislaus."

Just remember the sunflowers and you'll forget about the cows.

This kid's gonna be a doctor.

A classic name. And very California. Love it.

This kid is gonna live their whole life having to talk about the Sacramento Kings, and their parents would totally be okay with that.

All the Midwest transplants will suddenly want custard when they meet your kid, but those of us here in California know this comes from Culver City. (Ask your Wisconsinite friend about Culver's. They won't stop talking about it.)

Another classic name that also happens to be VERY California.

Like Daly City, for the Bay obsessed.

Another classic name and also very California. (Like all of these...lol)

I looked at a map of California and found a place called Sky-something. I imagine that's where my car would break down...and then I'd name a kid after that awful experience. It's a nice name though. lol

Sounds classic, cute, and very Palm Springs.

I almost wrote just "Ella," and then realized you can't have a California name without "Coach."

I promise this has to do with California. Just wander off into the desert and you'll find all sorts of names.

Like the hiking trail in this photo.

Have YOU met a baby named Beverly?? Me neither. But that would be amazing.

A kid with this name has two options: become a farmer or a software engineer. There's no in-between.
