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!!!!

Hi!
If I can help. I have two girls. Chloe and Ariane (Ariana for her granpa :)) I just love names which last with an A but in french it doesn’t sounds great sometimes depending on the prononciation. My suggestion: Stella for the little stars that she’s going to bring in your eyes 🙂
After Dexter and Deb Morgan
Name her Camryn! That’s my daughter’s name and she’s 12, it also just happens to be a “C” name so you would have 2 “M” and 2 “C” names for the kids!
Hi!
I wanted to go through all suggestions so I won’t repeat myself, but they are too many already, so I’ll just go with mine.
I agree that the name perhaps shouldn’t be of a musician. Other than that I think plenty people suggested things with H and C so if you want that I’m sure you’ll have a lot to choose of.
My suggestion was Mya Powell, but since there are too many Ms…
How about Bridget? It’s Irish, if you write it with double t it’s french, and it means strength. It was also the Celtic goddess of fire and poetry.
Hi Heidi.
How about…
Christina (Chrissy-Tina) and she would be named after Chris.
Camilla (Cami-Milli)
Hadley
Cailyn (Cail)
And perhaps the middle name could be named after a family member close to you and your husband. 🙂
My daughter’s name is Elodie Jean. Her middle name is after my mother but I love that Elodie is so unique and there aren’t 2 or 3 Elodies in her class. I also like Kaitlyn (or Caitlyn) Paige and Everly Marie.
