Thanks to my inability to filter this mouth of mine, it is now known that the Powell Pack will be bringing a baby GIRL to this world in November ?. While we are beyond excited (who doesn?t love ruffle buns and bows?), I am totally stressing about one of the most important parts of having a baby: choosing the name!
I am asked on a daily basis if we have names picked out yet. I feel bad answering NO each time, but let?s be honest ? there is some pressure to this decision! A name is important. Once we choose this name for our little girl, she is stuck with it for life ? or at least for18 years, at which point she can go change it if she doesn?t like what we chose. LOL.
Let?s face it: humans are judgmental creatures. If a name is tease-worthy, you better believe that little 6 year old is going to get teased on the playground. What parent in their right mind wants to give a child a name that might add to their risk of getting teased or bullied?
As adults, we also judge based on names. Before we get to know a person, the only bit of info we have to judge by is their name. Some names sound powerful, some sound weak. Some sound prissy, and some sound sassy. Some are boring, some are wacko. As a parent, how can I be sure that the name I choose for this little innocent bundle of joy helps her more than it hurts her?
Oh the joys and stresses of parenthood.
I need your help with some suggestions! Please, please, PLEASE comment here with your baby names. Heck, I?ll even throw in a prize of some sort?I don?t know what yet, but if you throw out a winning name, and you’re the first one to suggest it, I will contact you after the baby is born and send you something awesome ;). Be sure to suggest a first, middle and last name!
Other Things to consider:
Matix and Marley both start with M. Cash is a C (obviously). Does baby #4 need to start with a C? If her name starts with an M, will Cash feel left out?
Marley and Cash both have names that come from famous musicians ? Bob Marley and Johnny Cash. Poor Matix is left out. Will we need to make sure NOT to give baby #4 a name that can be related to a famous musician?
So much to think about. When you share your name suggestion, if there is a significance in why you picked it, be sure to let me know!
Comment away!!!!

Hi Powell Pack!
I work in a medical office I beg you please name this little girl something people can pronounce and don’t have to second guess. Example La-a pronounced Ladasha not cute. Pick something classic. Charlotte, Elizabeth, Anna, Rebecca, Natalie, Olivia, Samantha. I have a friend named Corinne and people always call her Karen. Goof luck and congrats on Baby Girl Powell!
My name I had picked should Levi had been a girl was Gwendolyn Hope. Tag on Powell at the end and you have my suggestion lol.
We named our (now age 8) daughter CAMBRIA PAIGE. No real signifigance other than that it was written beautifully on a bottle of wine. 🙂
If you stay with a C name, how about Cassidy? Or if you change it up completely how about Isabella (Bella). I have three girls – Dana, Nicole, and Andrea ….. DNA. 🙂
Coral Mae Powell
Clarity Jones Powell… Congratulations to you and your family. Thank you for all that you do!
Carah
Caselynn
Harper ? Powell! It just sounds right. 🙂 I like the idea of 2 C’s, 2 M’s, & 2 H’s. You are such a sweet family…God bless you all!
I love my daughters name of course! Rylee Marie 😉 but if you are looking for a C name to even it out, I love the name Chloe or Claire you guys could even come up with her middle name being a rockstar name. I think little girls need sweet girlie names. Just my opinion. She will be beautiful no matter what! Cherish her! GOOD LUCK!?
How about Carleigh ( Carly Simon is a musician) Brielle ( means God is my might)
So Carleigh Brielle Powell
