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 think the name Adalaid is pretty, it’s different and you don’t hear it much.
I like Caroline, Cadelynn, or Callie
I don’t think you necessarily have to go with a C name. I do however know how you feel because both my husband and I our first names start with J and we named our little girl Caroline and if we are blessed to have a boy one day be will be Clayton from my maiden name Clay so we don’t have a second C girl name. You jave to go with a name that fits you all. All the kids have such unique names and fun. Cadence Hart Powell would be very pretty.
What about Charlie? It’s playful starts with a C and is cute yet sophisticated. Good luck and congrats to you both!
I don’t think Cash would feel left out cause we pick name that r for special reason or mean somthing to us,I like Madison RAYNE THAT MY GRAND DAUGHTER NAME ,so if u like boxing name her if the greatest boxer daughter M ALI he name her Rayne u don’t hear that much @ it has a nice calmess about that name
I love the names of the characters in all Terry brooks books like Amberle and cinnamonson etc. Check out those names. They are unique. I always wanted to have kids but I have been unable to. I wanted to name them after the characters in his books.

Isn’t Cash’s given first name William?
Kari pronounced Car-e
I love the name Amelia! I think each child should have a name that fits them instead of going with a certain letter just because. Amelia is adorable for a little girl, is beautiful for a middle aged women and what elderly women doesn’t look like an Amelia?!?’ 🙂
Girl – Caia
Boy – Felix
