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 so many name options picked out for kids I have in the future! I LOVE unique names so I hope some of these will stick out to you! I have quite a few. Here they are:
1. Italy Vera Powell (or Vera Italy)
2. Harper Naomi Powell
3. Cheyenne Eliot Powell
4. Veronica Rylee Powell
5. Casey Alysen Powell
6. Lorelai Kalei (kaw-lay-ee) Powell
7. Valerie Taelor
8. Skyla Willow Powell
Those are my favorite names for a girl! I’m not a huge fan of it beginning with a “C”, since if you do have another child down the road, then you would have to have it start with an “M” or a “C”. Variety is always good to have!
Locklyn Jane Powell
I love names that end in -lyn. Locklyn I do not believe is very popular and Jane is just a simple but elegant name. You could even call her LJ for short if you wanted too. I ended up with 3 boys and 1 girl! I ended up with Brooke Eva for my girl. She was second in line. When I was pregnant with my 4th I was picking up the most elegant and girly names I could think of. Then we found out it was a boy and ended up picking his name in the hospital parking lot the day he was born, lol. Best wishes
My favorite girls name is Avery Grace. Had I had a girl that is what I would name her. So since I am done having children, I will give you the name I wanted!!
Hannah Blyss Powell
Hannah Grace Powell
Ok i think u should name her leila….pronounced with a long e and a long i and a short a…..why? Because its my name and its different and i like different and you guys r great :)))) i cant find anything tease worthy about the name leila…..bonus i get alot of compliments on my name because its pronounced dif then layla :)))))
your little baby should definitetly have a special name. your name Heidi is beautiful, chris is great. a suggestion is maybe Lindsey or Julia or Julie, please don’t name her something like the latitudes or something out off it after all this little girl one day has to go out and go on her own. you will pick something nice i know. congrats guys.
“Auburn” will always be my fav girl name … I just think it’s beautiful … Take away all the “football ” comparisons and it’s a beautiful name for a girl ! My daughter is 20 now and gets so many compliments on her name. I also love that I’ve only met one other Auburn since naming her that 20 yrs ago … She’s also a November baby ! November babies are so sweet hearted ! Good luck !
