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!!!!

Be aware of the initials that the name will create. You would not want Debbie Isabel Powell, as that would create “DIP” and that causes teasing as well.
I had only one child, a boy. But The name I would have chosen for a girl, would have been “Amberleigh Brooke” (or you could spell ie as “Amberly”. That was 30 years ago and I still think it’s a beautiful name.
To go along with the “C” theme, you could use “Carrie”. “Carrie Ann” or “Carrie Lynn” would be nice. Then the two youngest would be “Cash and Carrie”.
Wishing you God’s greatest blessing as you welcome your new little one into the “Powell Pack.”
Hi Heidi 🙂 its hard to catch up with all comments to see if names came up so my suggestions are
Camilla Powell or
Sophie (Sofia) Powell
thats the names (especially Sofia) I dreamed to give to my child but Im not sure if I ever will have my own kids :/
Sending warmest greetings from Scotland 🙂
Skye.
I love the name. I would give you the sun, the moon and all the stars in the sky. Sky’s the limit… you are teaching your daughter she can set her goals HIGH.
It is unique, different and says, “I CAN DO ANYTHING!!” – especially as a woman when she grows up!
I think Adalind a beautiful name, even because in my language (Brazilian Portuguese) “linda” means pretty!
God bless this wonderful family! Kisses from Brazil…
It’s the Spanish version for Catherine. It’s my great grandmothers name. We named our 6th child by this name over 21 yeasts ago and she and others have never complained. Best wishes, to you and your lovely family! I was afan of Chris’s and then grew in appreciation for you and what the two of you do so well together, synergy! Then I saw my friend Kass Martin was following you after a business trip, so glad to be reading your inspirational post! Again wishing you all, the best
Hi I really liked the name ELINA so precious and simple , but pretty baby ELINA Powell that’s my vote.thanks for asking.
Cadence!
How exciting…Congratulations. Well, I love my daughter’s name, Charli Alyse. Charli was picked, only if I was going to have a “girl.” My father-in-law’s name is Charlie/Chuck/Charles (he’s been called all these. Alyse was given when we mixed the letters of my mom and mother-in-law’s name. (Between my two sisters and one brother, we have 8 boys and 1 girl. Leave it to me to give the only girl a boy’s name.)
Sorry guys, I feel very silly, I didn’t realize you had 2 boys. Definitely a C name, Carrington Elise Powell. Congrats again.
