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 think that it would be neat if you gave the little girl a name that started with C, so that you have two C names and two M names.
You should name your baby girl *Christian*. Its just beautiful!
I have 5 kiddos and naming for me is always one of the hardest things! I think you should go with either an H name (Hadley, Harper, Hannah, etc) or a name that doesn’t start with a C or an M at all. 🙂 Good luck!
I think you should name her as Briana, this is such a beautiful name, I used to take care of a baby girl back there in South Carolina and her name is Briana. =)
Another name that I really like is Julia, I am not sure if its Brazilian, which is my nationality, but it was my grammas name, and its such a wonderful name! Anyway, I am sure this baby will be beautiful as her siblings!
May I suggest Evelyn? I think Evelyn Powell sounds strong but graceful. Not sure on a middle name, but you could try Marie or Grace. Just a thought. My grandmothers name was Evelyn and her nickname was Eve (pronounce Evee). I hope this helps.
Morgan, after Deb and Dexter Morgan
RYKER… It means strong…it could be used for a boy or girl and if your family will reflect anything in this baby it will be strength…you guys ROCK! Good Luck picking a name!!! #BabyPowell
Oops in last post I put the baby name as my name.
Sydney Taylor Powell
Not too popular but not so uncommon
Leila Powell
Lea Powell
Miranda Powell
Claire Powell
Emma Powell
Mia Powell
I think only choosing a name for it’s first letter is very limiting. And it’s also even more confusing when you’re trying to discipline kids cause you get the names even more easily jumbled when they’re in trouble. Lol
When I was pregnant, my husband and I settled on a girls name immediately. The boys name took us till almost the end, and of course, we had a boy (Jaxin Caiden).
But the girls name we chose was
Brooklyn McKenna
Also, you can use names that aren’t traditionally considered girls names. My name has always been considered male but I’ve met several other girls besides me who have it. There are lots of names out there that are the same.
