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!!!!

Alivia Rose Powell ….. That’s my daughters name alivia rose we call her liv for short or Livy rose. Good luck on picking a name
This past April (4-3-13)I delivered a perfect little boy named Noah Parker. Also, I have a soon to be 4 year old (11-17-09) named Austin Joseph. It is funny how we stress about things like names. I personally found picking a girls name easier. I new right away with both pregnancies the female names but could not decide on the boy names. My husband and I agreed on 2 girls names, first with Austin we chose Tayler McKenzie and with Noah we agreed on Quinn Emily. We were deadset,then with both boys we found out they were boys(which we were happy with either, no preference really, just wanted healthy babies). I suggest Quinn Emily, I absolutely love the name and it just comes accross 100% cute girl all around. Good Luck on the name picking, I am sure whichever you choose will be perfect for the up coming bundle of joy!
Congrats!

You have 2 names with M and 2 with C in the family and one with H. So its a great idea to have a baby named with H. I combined Heidi + Chris= Heiress Powell (Hei from heidi & Ress from Chris). Heiress means: a female heir, esp. to vast wealth.
Name her Molly!
I have three beautiful daughters, with three beautiful names!! We are all huge fans of you and Chris!! Blessings to you and your family!!
Jensen, Gracie and Sadie.
Hi Powell family! I think you should definitely go with an C or H!
So, Chiara (pronounced kee-ya-ra) or Haley? Or maybe both? Chiara Haley Powell, Haley Chiara Powell.
Or maybe Charlie for a girl! Or Claire, Hannah?
Goodluck and I wish you all the best for your family and your new girl!
Much love! X
My daughters name is Macy! I absolutely love it. We too are split with the letter issue in our home, and the boys could care less! Good luck and congrats!! Xo
For a girl i love the name Payton Alexis Powell. Because its a name that can be boy or girls name and it has strong middle name that i love. Our son was a boy, his name is Peyton (with a E) Alex. Good Luck with names 🙂
Marcy, Maggie (love the M’s)
Cadence (Caydence/Kaydence)<- musical, but not musician. 😛
Clara (A pretty C name)
Baby naming is sooo fun!!
Jayne is a pretty middle name!
Hopefully Cash won't feel left out, but right now I'm loving:
****Maggie Jayne Powell****
***Caydence Jayne Powell*** (So Cash won't feel left out)
I vote for Hollie Elizabeth Powell.
