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!!!!

Declyn! It means Full of Goodness 🙂 its primarily a boy name but I think spelling it with a “y” makes it feminine. Or you could spell it Declynn? Or what about Hannah? That way there will be two “M” names, two “C” names and two “H” names 🙂 plus “H” like her mommy 😉
I vote for Carson.
I think the new baby’s name should be completly original. I think you should name her Amaya. Its original and nobody feels left out.
Charlie for a girl! Love that name and lots of musicians with that name including Charlie Watt. Rhymes with Marley, starts with the letter C like in Cash, and in relation to Matrix…well all I was able to research was that Charlieplexing means controlling a “matrix” of LEDs.
Still, Charlie is a beautiful, fun name and I’m sure she’ll be an angel 😉
I’d’ve suggested my daughters name which is Heidi but as you already have that covered. I really like the name Cecily! Historically, there was a Cecily, Duchess of York!
Charlie Hayden Powell
There are lots of famous singers that have the first name of Charlie. The one that comes to my mind is Charley Pride, country singer. You can also do Charleen and call her Charlie for short.
Joseph Hayden is a composer of Baroque music in the Romantic period. He was known as the Father of the Symphony. You then would have an C for Cash and Chris and an H for Heidi
I think you should name you’re little one Bridgette hope Powell. Bridgette means strength and that is what your family does. you build up strength in people and instill hope in everyone.
My niece’s. Name is karly..that could start with c.. my daughter is Brittany…born November 10
Well I would suggest Charlotte Sophie Maria, this way you have the C and M covered. Most important it is also the name of my adorable 20 month old girl. 😉
