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 Carolee Grace Powell – it gives it a musical touch without being a musician. But I really think that it should be an H name myself. Hailee or spelling of your choice.
Hailee Grace Powell
Hailee Faith Powell
And my personal favorite
Hailee Elizabeth Powell
How about CarrraLily Anne, Melody Crystle, Christianna Rose Powell….I could go on & on. Or Crystle Dawn…..I figured Melody Crystle or Crystle Melody those have the “C” & “M” to kinda bridge all as one strong family unit Love & Many Blessings. I truly look up to You & Chris…such great work you both do and quite clearly thoughtful loving parents. Hope that helped
Callia or Calla (both mean beautiful) Lilly Powell
Olivia…is a strong and peaceful name. People will remember it and all the Olivia’s I have known were kind, caring and giving girls/women. My name is Olivia and I was named after my paternal aunt. I have tried to live up to the person my aunt is and I would will never forget that it is an honor to be named after her!
I like Charlotte Grace or Hadley Grace. If you ate going with and H name Hazel and Hayley are cite as well.
Caitlyn Madison Powell
It has both your C and M and I have always thought that it is just a very pretty name for a girl.
Cindy, Celine, Christien or Christina
We have two boys, but we did like Mattalyn Rae(for short we would’ve called her Matty Rae) I’m sure whatever you guys choose, it will be perfect! Have you asked your kids for imput? I’d narrow down the list of ones you like and let the kids help you decide, after all they will have to call her by this name too!
Ameliana Gisella. …I wanted to name my 2nd baby this but w e chose Aria Gisella instead. We
I! I dont know if you chose a name already but I heard this one recently. “IRIS”. I think it’s a beautiful name for a presious little girl 🙂
