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!!!!

Chloe Madge Powell ..Cadence Maye Powell …Caralee Grace Powell..if u don’t want another to start w a c perhaps Alexis? Alexis Ryan Powell sounds nice…Phoenix Sage Powell Candace Rose … Ummmmmm Chelsea Dyllan … What ever u choose will be perfect! Maybe u just need to see her sweet face that first time to have an official name. Good luck to u and your wonderful family.
I just gave birth to my 4th child, a boy. Before this baby I had two kids with “A” names and one “K” name so I gave my baby boy a “K” name to keep it even. Now I have Kaylie and Kooper & Allie and Ayden. I LOVE THE NAME CLAIRE for a baby girl and using a “C”. Good luck! It’s a tough choice! 😉
I love the name Christina Nevaeh Powell. The middle is heaven spelled backwards.
We won’t be having a baby girl. Two boys here. But our favorite girls name was Alexia Quinn. Personally I don’t think the kids will care one way or the other if their names are “matchy” or not.
We named our daughter “Selah” (Pronounced say-lah). It is Hebrew and means to meditate, or pause and reflect. In the book of Psalms out of the Bible, when the psalmist would say something that he wanted to really sink in, he would say, “Selah.” This was the people’s note to really pay attention.
Hope this helps! Congrats!
I think cyleigh(cylee)(Cyley) with a c instead of a k I have a friend that named her son kash instead of cash its more unique if you switch up the letters 😉
