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!!!!

Coral Grace Powell, initials CGP. In hebrew it means fate, destiny and luck. I dont know about you but I could use all three!! Such A beautiful name, you don’t need to be named after a rock star because it has rhythm of its own. It starts with a C so no child has to feel left out. And its fit for a princess – Princess Coral or an Executive – introducing our CEO Coral Powell, or even a rock star- at the top of the charts Coral sings… And just think what you could do with her nursery!!
I’m so excited for you to have another baby girl! I don’t think the names need to be matchy. My suggestion for her name would be Lauryn Elizabeth. I love the name because it works for any age, it isn’t overly popular, you could spell it differently, but it is still a classic timeless name. Congratulations again, and anything you pick will be perfect for your new princess!

It’s hard to know what sound beautiful and nice to you, specially when english isn’t my native language. But I do know that you will find perfect name for your little princess. God bless you and your family.
If she was baby # 5 you could name her Chanel. But since she is #4 I think Charlene, or Charlotte are good choices.

How about Kyla! Then use either your middle name or one of her grandparents for her middle name. Growing up I’ve only met a few other Kyla’s. I like having a unique name!
Some of my favorites
Charlotte Grace Powell
Cadence Isabella Powell
Clara Rae Powell
Callee Grace Powell
I also love the names Hazel, Adeline, Olive and Amelia
Hi Heidi! I have always loved the name Adriana and when my sister became pregnant for the second time (14 years ago now), I suggested it to her and she loved it. At the time I even suggested calling her “Adrie” for short, but that never stuck. Adriana is now a happy and healthy 14 year old with a unique name amongst her peers! Whatever you choose, it will be perfect for her. 🙂
