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!!!!

Catherine Heidi Powell
Courtni O’Neal Powell
Abigail Christine Powell
Harper Jean Powell
Dareth Lanae Powell…. I just love the way it flows
I also like the Idea of making the name start with an H…. What about combining both your’s and Chris’s name some how? Something like Heidris or Heirisa something very unique just like you an Chris!!!
Congratulations on adding a beautiful girl to your already beautiful family.
I also have 2 children that start with the same first letters then I did two totally different letters for the other two so none of them would think we purposely chose the same letters. 😉 Going with a completely different letter is acceptable and lets you off the hook.
My own name, Cristal, is spelled differently. It is actually spelled like the expensive champagne. I am very partial to names you don’t hear very often. I also think of possible ways the children could be teased on the playground when thinking of a name. (Very important detail to consider.) I am partial to my own children’s names, of course. Mallory, is sort of an old fashioned name but still not heard very often. Cierra, which I still love, has become very common nearly 22 years after she was born. Talia still isn’t very common either in our society. We debated on naming her Natalia, but figured we would cut to the chase since we would probably use that as a nickname anyhow.
Best of luck to you both in choosing a name. Whatever you choose, I’m sure it will suit your newest little princess to a “T”. 😉
I say go with a C name
Clara
Claire
Chloe
Corinne
I myself have 2 girls and their names are Riley and
Reese (I stuck with the R letter)

Your family represents nothing but hope for millions of people everywhere!
