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!!!!

It’s pretty for a child and adult, it’s southern, sophisticated, sweet. Your three kids’ names so far have one-two vowels, this name has three (and it doesn’t leave Cash or Matix feeling left out)…it flows perfectly!!
Best of Luck! It will come to you soon. I am due with a baby girl in October, naming babies can be so frustrating; just say a prayer. 🙂
Clarissa, clare, caelyn, callie would be some beautiful c names to go with the c name theme… love the names you’ve chosen so far!
Or what about an H name like you because cash and chris have the same name letter and marley and matix??
like harley, haleigh,harlow, harper,hope etc 🙂
Good luck choosing!!
You could do an “H” to match your name! Matix & Marley are “M”s, Cash and Chris are “C”s, and she could be like you with an “H”… Harper, Hadley, Hallie (or Halle), Harlow, Harley, Hayden.. My favorite middle names are Grace, Shea, Layne, Lynn, Lou, Ann. Or maybe your middle name? Or Chris’ Mom’s middle/first name??? Love family names!!
Well of course I’m going to suggest my name (Sunny)! I have four girls and their names are Amira, Noor, Naada, and Aya. They are all half Egyptian so their names have Arabic meaning. Amira means princess. Noor means The Light. Naada means Mornings Dew and Aya is a verse in our holy book.
I think the name should be Change! How cute would that be.. It would go with Cash but also represent what you and Chris try to promote and motivate people to do in their life. Or maybe Miracle, that would go with the other kids names but also represent what you and Chris perform with people. Have a fabulous time hunting for names!! It was a pleasure!!
I think since M’s are done. You used C- similar to Chris. I would use H.:)) My name is Heather, and I have always loved it!! A Scottish flower. It is uncommon. My sister in laws name is Heidi and we live being Heather & Heidi!! Good luck and Congratulations!

Sarina … Sarina Powell has a nice ring to it 🙂 And then there is Zada … Zada Powell Oh and one more… Zosja …. Zosja Marie Powell… My daughter’s name is Zosja 🙂 Well, good luck! I am sure whatever name you pick would be a beautiful name 🙂
Cadence Maeve Powell! Cadence would be a lovely fusion of the C names with a nod to music, and Maeve was a queen in Irish legend. So excited for you guys!
