thanks, Mike,how do you think about "Linlin Guo " or "Guo Linlin(original chinese from)"?
what i want is is a name that make the people feel weird. to be better, it`ll conform to english name`s rules.
thanks again.

It's rare in Britain. It may be more common in the US, since one of the children in the "Peanuts" strip is called Linus, and I wouldn't have expected Charles Schulz to have used a rare name.
