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 don’t think kids think to much about letters in their names.
I have 3 kiddos. Makenzie, Hayden and Piper
Go with and H name to go with Heidi.
Hayden Piper Powell
Hayden Makenzie Powell
I have also always liked the name Collins for a girl so there’s your C
Collins Makenzie Powell
Collins Christian Powell. (Girl variation of Chris)
Good luck! My youngest is 3 months and its so hard finding names! Oh and I just bought your book!
How about hailed or Hannah or holly, hope, Cora matix Powell
Matix, Marley and Cash are all strong, unique names so I think you should definitely continue with that. How about adding an “H” into the mix or if not a “C”.
Hadley June Powell. (Johnny and June)
Camdyn June Powell.
Haleigh, Harmony, Helana, Helena, Hunter Someone pointed out the M & M
Chris and Cash.. so now you need another H!! lol..
good luck you’ll know when you see her what she should be named.
For a girl, I’m partial to the names of “Hope”, “Elizabeth” and “Elanor.” “Hope” because it’s what every parent has for their little girl, and both Elizabeth and Elanor because the names invoke strength…plus they’re easy to short informally to something like “Lizzie or Lizbeth” (or just Beth) and Ellie.
I was told I would not have children . Five years after hearing that I was blessed with a beautiful son that I named Jaden. He is now 11 years old and we have still not been able conceive again. I vowed to never share my baby names for the girl that I some day wished to have. As the years have gone by, my husband and I have put these wished on the back burner. I would love to share the name I loved and picked for our hope of a baby girl. Liberty Jaymes. There is a special and strong meaning behind the two names for my husband and I ,but I thought I would share.( Chlarah, Melody, Harmony ,Tori,)Best wishes you guys!
