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!!!!

I say Christina Powell. 🙂 You can call her Chrissy for short.
I think that it needs to be an H name, and having a C middle name would be perfectly wonderful.
Too bad that it CAN’T be musically related, because my first pick would be Handel (after the famous composer)
That being said, my suggestion is Harmony Christina Powell
Your children have unique names! Keep it up!
Go classic/old fashioned!
**Eleanor**
**Susan**
**Clara/Clair**
Brielle
Caitlyn Carter Powell
Caitlyn~ My daughter’s name but keeping with your ‘C’ so Cash has an initial mate 🙂
Carter or June~ Staying with your music theme, and obvious love for the Man in Black so…Carter for the beautiful June Carter Cash
Best of luck to you and congrats on your baby girl!!
CHELSEA AVA POWELL
CHLOE HOPE POWELL
CARIS MARIE POWELL
CHEYENNE NEVAEH POWELL
Good Luck 🙂
I think you should name her Natasha… Yes it is my name, but I get so many compliments on it! It is different, sounds exotic… Yet also professional when she is grown up!
Recently, I’ve started LOVING the name Emersyn for a girl. It’s unique! You don’t have to spell it that way…but just a suggestion. Congrats to you both!!!
I don’t think it’s a big deal that her name needs to start with a “C” but I do like the name Carolyn. It means “free man, strong” and I think it is fitting for your family because that is what you give to the people you help. You allow those trapped by the chains of obesity to be set free and become strong and live life. The middle name I think would go great with Carolyn is Hope. And that is explained next…
I also like the idea that someone else mentioned and using a name that starts with “H” since Chris has a “C” name 😉 My “H” name choice is Hope. Again I thought about what you and Chris give to people…. Hope. A middle name for Hope could be Crarina (it means “beloved or friend”).
GOOD LUCK!
Emma Brooke Anna those are my favorite girl names ( I named my 3 daughters those, they are my purpose in life right beside their BRother )
