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!!!!

Congrats! No doubt names are tough picking out… but also for a child who will be growing up in the spotlight. People are too judgmental. The best part about being a mom, you will know what name best fits your baby girl when you see her. Even when you think you know for sure what your child’s name will be; then you meet him/her. When I first met my daughter and laid eyes on her, I knew she needed a name that stood out from the rest… Autumn Renee. Now, although I would love to say name her Autumn… my suggestion to you is to wait until you meet her. Her name will come when you see her features, her demeanor, her voice, her smell… You will know mama… you will know. Best wishes!

I think you should keep the girls tradition of starting with an M. Cash is a boy and he will want to be different from his sisters, boys are like that. This will be especially true when he is older. However, you could make him feel special and give them a special bond by giving this baby his middle name, that way she is tied to everyone. I like Marta (means pretty lady) Cash Powell and my favorite is Mika (means the moon) Cash Powell. Congrats guys, you have a beautiful family.
I love Claudia, Clara and Charlotte! My daughter is Christa and I have a niece named Claire. Whatever name you choose, your baby will be joining an amazing family!
Paige Christine Powell
Paige is a great modern name that is becoming more and more popular and Christine takes a twist on Chris’s name of course.
Best Wishes!
Congrats on your sweet girl!
I love the name Brinley (our daughter’s name). Its a name we rarely hear but not outrageous. We get many wonderful comments on her name. Good luck picking a name, its one of the hardest decisions.
I’ve always liked unique names which fits perfect with you guys because your kids have unique names! Here are some suggestions and good luck making your final decision 🙂
Brynlee or Brynleah or Brynlea
Huxley or Huxleah or Huxlea
Bexley or Bexleah or Bexlea
Taylee or Taylea or Tayleigh
McKarty
Navyie or Nayvea or Nayvie or Nayvee
Maylee or Maylea or Mayleah or Mayleigh
Lakynn
Taci or Tacea or Tacee
Harleigh or Harlea or Harlee

Stella means star. All of your children have a star name of some kind. Marley and Cash were both stars and the Matrix movies were star-worthy. A name meaning star would be good. Stella Elizabeth Powell is beautiful! LOL!!
Melody. thats my name and i very like it!
How about Marlowe Elise Powell? She could be Lo for short. Or Vivienne Maeve Powell? You could call her Vinny for short which is sorta cute!
