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!!!!

Baby name dilemma should be Candice such a lovely name.
I love the idea of an “H” name to go with yours. My choice (for yours and mine actually) is Harper….Harper Christine Powell.
I like carolynn rose powell. Congrats on the baby girl.
I know this sounds self serving, but I love Xochitl Alejandra! Xochitl means flower in Nahuatl (Aztec) and Alejandra means protector or defender of mankind in Spanish. It’s fun and unique! There’s also, Xitlali witch means princess of the Stars in Nahuatl.
Ava Grace Powell. There isn’t a “special” reason for the name, I just think the names each on their own are beautiful and together it sounds very classy.
My name suggestion for your baby girl, which is my oldest daughters name, is Tehya Marie (pronounced Tay-Yuh) it is Native American and it means “Precious” and “Gift from God”.
A few examples…
Tehya Marie Powell
Tehya Elizabeth Powell
Tehya Faith Powell – which would mean Precious Faith 😉
Congrats on new addition! God bless! 🙂
Hadrian Grace Powell 🙂
Definitely think she deserves an “H” name
balance out the family… You have the “M”‘s
covered, the “C”‘s covered now Heidi needs
a partner!! I suggest Hadley Grace… Also cool
that #2 and #4 have the same ending!!
Casey Hope Powell. Then you have” C” and “H” for your initial and Chris.
It’s also the initials of a sugar company. ..which is what little girls are
made of.
I love that you are letting your fans suggest names for your new bundle of joy! How much fun to see everyone’s suggestions. I’ve always been a fan of unique names, although my daughter’s isn’t overly unique. 😉 Couldn’t quite get the husband to agree with anything too crazy like.
So anyways, here are my suggestions. I think that you shouldn’t go with a same letter name as the rest of your babies. Let her be her own unique baby. ;)I have a few names, but no middle names. If I were to have another girl the hardest part about naming her would be the middle name. 😉
Aislin (The name comes from a character in a book that I’m reading and I instantly fell in love with it)
Dalanee
My daughters name is Ashlynn DeAnn, so I’ll throw that one out there for fun too. 🙂
Whatever name you pick for her, it will be perfect!!
