Naming "Ah Bi"

Mom has been struggling to find a name for "ah bi" for few months. Discussed with friends, grandpa, father, and others. Still no clues.

Nevertheless, mom sticked to some general principals like:
1. Not too common until you will be called big bi or small bi in the same class like my mom
2. Not too uncommon until no one can pronounce it correctly
3. No Unisex name until you will be mistaken as a "GIRL"
4. No funny name - Au is pronounced as "O" in English, so names to avoid "Ocean", "Ogawa", "Osim". Owen sounds nice and it can be used as both Chinese and English name "AU WEN"

After thinking through all the possibilities, mom still like this name Au Kai Young 区凯阳. Mom wants me to be a successful person with warm heart.
