You will be glad to find out that the Secretary of State's website is all you need to both check the name availability and reserve the name chosen on the name reservations page.

Of course you can leave this first step out and directly file your Articles of Incorporation and up to three alternate name choices to the SOS office directly, but the search made beforehand might save you possible problems.
