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 am 21 weeks preggo and also having a little girl her name will be Peighton Paige…there are so many names out there to choose from…I don’t believe in the every name has to start with the same letter…or that a pattern has to be followed…but I do like names that u don’t hear often like the ones on the top 100 baby names list…lol…my oldest kids are Giancarlo and Leilani…sometimes u just have to see the baby to know what his or her name will be…
Hubby and I have 5 girls. Going to try one more time for a boy. However, if we are blessed with a 6th girl, I’m really loving the name Azlynn (not sure how I’m going to spell it). I understand the pressure to find a name that fits a pattern. However, regardless of what letter it starts with or the meaning, I think you should write down 3-5 names you love and wait til she is born. When you see that precious face, you’ll know what name fits her and not necessarily the pattern.
Name a child is really important. I am blessed that but my Kids God name through Gods word. I have my oldest son as Josiah a king that brings back a whole nation to worship God. My daughter’s name is Hannah and there is a long process before these names came to be. But Hannah in the bible is a women of powerful prayer. Both child God wanted to have powerful names that he made me believe these name were for them. I always trust my gut instinct cause that is the closest thing I have towards God. I have alway been blessed by all my gut instinct.
I will be having a girl in nov as well. I have 4 kids : Alissa, Luke, Liam and Landon and for this girl her name will be Ellianna. If you take a off alissa you get Lissa, and take off El you get Lianna to go with the L theme. SO you could do Macy, Mckenzie or McCayla and use it how you want. I always wanted a McKayla Grace but never worked out. Good Luck!!
I love Cassie….So it would be cash ans cassie…
I think you should name her Penelope, because Penelope Powell is an amazingly sweet name!
