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!!!!

Based on your sibling set, I think a C name makes the most sense but not necessary. There are a few C names that jump out at me. Cassidy and Cadence (means rhythm, goes with your other musical names). Cydney is cute but I’m more partial to it spelled with an S…… Sydney. Cheyenne is cute with the nickname Chey ( pronounced ‘shy’) cash and Chey. Codi is a cute unisex name. Cash and Codi. I really like these names together.
Peyton Marie Powell or Cassie Lynn Powell
I think Charity is a great name………….and it starts with C :o) I am not just saying this because it is my name, but I think it kind of fits your family. You guys do so many positive things for people, which is one of the definitions of Charity. I also think that Chloe is a great name as well.
I love the name Kate. It’s simple and it means “pure”. Also, you can choose to spell it Cate, if you really felt you needed to use the letter “C”. For the middle name I like the name Eloise, meaning “warrior”. So there you have it! I solved your dilemma;)
Kate Eloise Powell or Cate Eloise Powell
“Pure Warrior” 🙂
I LOVE the name SYDNEY. But for a C name my favorite is CAROLINE. “Sweet Caroline, bum,bum, bum…” lol Good luck in your decision making.
Serenity or Harmony
Carly Marie Powell
Olivia Jade Powell
Cassandra or Michaela (variations on spelling)
Anderson Jade Powell (You could call her Andie for short, or even AJ.) Good luck with your name hunt!
Cadence if you want to go with the c, if not Julianna is a beautiful name.
