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!!!!

Toughy! I love super feminine names like Camilla (pronounced Ca-ME-la) or Cara. But middle names I like to reserve for someone you really look up to so I feel weird suggesting a middle name.
My daughters name is Lily Elizabeth…
We also like the name Paisley Elise.
I love Finley Grace. I also like Ava Grace.
I like the name Ryann for a girl as well even Logan. I like Ansley too.
well, if your looking to keep the famous musician names going……Cassidy after David Cassidy. 🙂 That name sounds pretty catchy. I’ve only heard that as a first name 1 time.. and that is Cassidy Pope who was on season 4 of “The Voice” and is now a singer.
The name is not common, and that’s what I did with my kids.. they are named after famous athletes, my Daughter’s mid. name is after Micheal Jordan so her name is Kaylee Jordan, and my son’s first name is Ryan after Nolan Ryan. I liked them both bc I grew up watching both athletes and as an adult and new parent. I wanted names that weren’t common. 🙂
I like the name chloe, calleigh, carly, cassie, casey.
I have 6 month old GGB triplets. So, I understand your name dilemma as I had to pick out 3 at the same time! It’s definitely a lot of pressure. My girls’ names are Audrey and Emily so I, of course, would recommend those. Other girl names that We considered are : Savannah, Whitney, Vivienne, Kelsey, and Carly.
Best of luck and congratulations on your little girl 🙂
my girls are Breanna and Azalea. i also love the name Contessa! love the name Della too! i love names that i really haven’t heard much before. (like Azalea)
I like a C name. Maybe Courtney Colleen Powell. When you monogram it’ll be cute too cPc.
Callie goes good with Cash:) if I was ever blessed to have another baby girl that name is the only one!
I love names that have some kind of meaning, I like to put family names in there somewhere.. I love the name Cadence Lane Powell.
I Agree that a “C” name would be fitting and Jive well! Maybe a “Chloe” or maybe a “H” name like her Momma!
