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!!!!

Congratulations on the new addition to the #POWELLPACK
I have always loved the name Charlie for a girl. What about Cali or Carissa? Do something different and not super common! I would go with a C name. In my family it goes (oldest to youngest) Mindi, Stacey, Michael, Stephanie..My husbands family all have the same Initials. So with 9 aunts/uncles I get way to confused on who is who lol.
Well I am right there with you on this…when I had my only girl, so far, it was the hardest for us to pick. We chose it finally the day we left the hospital after a stupid argument between my husband and myself over it too! I left the hospital so unsure that it was the right name for her, but it was! I couldn’t be happier! Our little redheads name is Charlotte Anne…has my middle name. I call her Charlie most times though so she has the option to go by. She was named after my late grandpa Charles (Chuck) who was a redhead and who I never met. I love her being able to have the option of wanting to go by something more feminine if she wants or something more… I don’t know exactly, but fun! 😉 I also love my name…Sally Anne…it’s rare for real people to have it, but definitely a known name (mostly from stories) so not to be vain in saying this, but if it wasn’t my name I would name a little girl that, it’s cute sounding and it’s also very grown-up! I have a lot of suggestions! My girl names go on and on! We almost named Charlotte, Paisley because one of my favorite country singers is Brad Paisley… He’s a pretty good family man too so I wouldn’t regret naming one of my daughters somewhat after him. If I have anymore kids or daughters that is definitely still at the top of my list. Also like, Savannah (calling her Savvy) and Samantha (calling her Sam). Have you tried name genie online? Best of luck! What ever you choose I know it will be beautiful and a perfect name for your sweet little girl! Congratulations again! 🙂

I would like to suggest a very special family name.
52 years ago my mother lost a baby girl that was full
term but my moms uterus ruptured and the baby was
lost. My mom almost died herself from blood loss. The
baby was named Ellowyn Elizabeth. She was born and
in Nov. as you say yours will be. I’ve always loved her
name and since I never had any children myself, I thought
I’d suggest her name for your little angel. I know you are
In a dilemma as to what to name your new addition-so not
a ‘C’ name or an ‘M’ name or a famous musician’s name but
In my opinion a unique and beautiful name you could use
for your precious little one.
I like Maxine so that Matix has a feel of continuity with everyone else. Love you both for your tireless efforts to give people their lives back. God bless you, Chris and the kids.
Hi! My suggestion is: FRANCISCA. It would go very well with her last name 🙂
Cheers!
