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 have always loved the name Olivia. I think that sounds amazing with Powell as the last name.
Here are my thoughts:
Charley (or ie) Leigh Powell (unsure about middle name)
Jade
Makenna
Peyton
Just some more to add to your list!
why not Ines??
I have always wanted a girl named Lennon (yes after John) but I also like the names Hendrix & Phoenix… .. My daughters name is Azelyn ( the lion the with. & the wardrobe) my sons name is Miles and no not after Miles Davis although it may work for you!!! You’ll know when you see her…
I honestly think and H name would be amazing as she’ll be strong and powerful like her mother. You have 2 M’s, 2C’s now you need a second H!!
Henna James Powell
Hannea (pronounced Hannah) Belle Powell
Harlequin (Harley) Marie Powell
Hope Abeline Grace Powell

Ok at this point you have 949 comments so not sure if you’ll get to my comment but I like the 2 M’s 2 C’s and 2 H’s! So I love the name Hannah. I don’t know how you feel about biblical names, but Hannah was a strong biblical character. So might I suggest Hannah Faith Powell. You all give us so much faith to do the hard things in life! Just my 2 cents!
I think baby number four needs to have a first name that ends in ‘x’ so that Matix has a name connection. Names I like for this are:
Phoenix
Lux
Pax
Calixta
I find that middle names are more personal. Some use family names, others just any name will do. Some names that I like for middle names are Avery, Riley, and Ashlynne. It all depends on how you like it when you say it and what meaning a middle name means for you. Good luck in choosing a name and congratulations!
Caoimhe ( pronounced Keva) :)) x
I’ll share mine. Sheba
