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!!!!

I love the name ‘Reese’. That is my daughters name. I got it from the TV show Savanah. It was on the WB station 17 yrs ago. Also love Lainey, Patton. Also names from that show.
Because we are done having children…my girl name pick is
Annabelle Beatrice
Nickname could be Annie B
I picked Madelyn because it was the name of a special little girl I had in daycare. And I used my middle name (as well as my moms middle name), Gale. We also call her Maddie 🙂
I like the name Brooklyn. It has some cute nicknames. Brooke,Brookie,Brookers. Emma is a cute girls name.
I like the name Teagan Rae Powell
Helena Grace Powell–Helena means bright one
Hannah Jasmine Powell–Hannah means grace
Hollee Sierra Powell
Hannah Sierra Powell
Haylee Sierra Powell–Haylee doesn’t have a pretty meaning but it’s a pretty name 🙂
Haylee Grace Powell
I think you need a “h” name since you have the 2 m’s and the 2 c’s. Your “h” is a little lonely. It needs a partner 🙂
I think that you can be an individual in her name. I don’t think anyone will be upset about being left out. But if you want to include the letters then perhaps a combination. Something like Madelyn Cara Powell or Maisy Constance Powell or Charlotte Marie Powell or Crissy Mae Powell. But you can also give her something completely unrelated. Alexandra Joy Powell. I could really go on forever.
I am going to name my daughter Carly Elizabeth its different but very beautiful. But I also love Hanna Marie . Best of luck i hope theses help you out.
Casiah Janae Powell – pronounced “Kuh-sigh-uh” “Juh-nay”
I like this name because it is not common, it is pretty but strong and definitely memorable. It sounds good with all of your kids names and it would match Cash’s “C” name.
I know a teenager with this first name and it fits her well and sets her apart from the crowd. It is a name that I will always remember because I had not heard it before. The name Casiah works well for a little girl, young adult and older adult. You could also spell it with a K or play around with the spelling if you would rather. I think it is a timeless name and it is unique in a good way. I can’t think of any teasing potential.
If you like nicknames, C.J. is a possibility.
I chose Janae because it is the middle name that I chose for my daughter.
I love the name Jessalyn Renee Powell. Jessalyn is a name that’s a little different, but not too out there. 🙂 (I’ve also thought about naming my baby girl – if I ever have one – Jessalyn Kristine) 🙂 Congrats on your precious baby girl!
