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!!!!

If you are going to keep with the “C” names how about putting a spin on 2 names that usually start with “S”… Ciera or Cienna? The spellings could probably be done in different ways. They are different and not all that common.
I live my name! Starts with a C!!! I suggest Chantal!!! Good luck with the new baby. I have 3 boys. Always wanted a girl!!!
I really like the name Emerie or Emory Ashlyn Powell.
I have three boys so no chance of using my girl names in this house. I named Michael-Shayne Gregory after his dad Michael. Peyton Cole were just names we liked and Drayke McDaniel was named after our good friends the McDaniels. I will say now that Peyton was sad he didn’t have a name sake. One of our girl names was Maeve which I used for the girl dog we have 🙂 I think its pretty and strong. I also liked Brinlee. So I think Brinlee Maeve Powell sounds great. I also like Declan which our cupcake company on our town Camicakes named her daughter. So Declan Heidi Powell is pretty awesome also 🙂 Blessings to you and I am sure my youngest son would say November 20th is a great day to shoot for.
Harper May Powell – H So that one of the children has a common letter with your name. Cash has his daddy’s letter, and the Marley & Matix well share the M.
Emma Casey Powell
Gracie May Powell
Amelia Grace Powell
I like the name Caroline Grace or Sara Beth even though it’s not a ” C” name what a about Cathy
Love the name Cora, or different spelling of Corah, with a M middle name 🙂
Cora Mae or Cora Marie
Carly
Hello,
Firstly, Congratulations and secondly, choosing the babies name is so hard!
Im in Wales (Britain) and have two beautiful girlies Darcie aged 8 and Lola aged 2 years 3 months.
Welsh as a language have some beautiful names too, my favourite is Seren which is welsh for star.
The list is endless for pretty girls names and im sure you’ll find the right one for your family.
