Choosing a baby name to reflect one’s culture and heritage
Our names say a lot about us. They’re more than what we are known to the world, and more often than not, they are reflections of family, cultural and ethnic histories and traditions inscrutable to the outside world.
Los Angeles is as diverse a place as they come. If you are a parent, how did your culture or heritage inform the name you gave to your child? If you are from a biracial, bicultural family, how does your name mirror that background? What do you know about your name? Call in and let us know!
