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 love the names Kendall, Kylie, Mallory, and Ava
Tell the oldest and this baby that the middle kids have names after musicians and they have different names that y’all just liked. I’d go with Ava or a family name that is liked. Maybe a family name from each side and use one as the first name and the other as the middle name. I like several girl names. Ava, Jaeleigh, Evelyn, Kashlyn, Kate and Raelynn. Good luck to y’all!
Brielle or McKinley
Hi chris… I must say, I am a great fan of yours and I admire you the way you help people to have a healthy lifestyle.
My Suggestion for baby name would be PARVATI(goddess name which resembles, the god of cosmic energy,The ultimate power)
I will just suggest names my children chose for theirs, because I like them. My son Keith and his wife Shandi chose Lincoln Harker for their new son (20 Sept 2013)who has a big sister Willow. My daughter Elizabeth chose the names Avery Zella and Addison Rebecca for her daughters.
I think Charley Madison Powell is a great name!!
Linnea Elise Powell, Vivian Iris Powell (VIP)
I think you should pick a name fitting with those you already have. Something not too common but one that is still respected. How bout my name, Celeste!? It’s not overly common, starts with a “C,” no big musicians have this name and it means “from the heavens”. What a better fitting name for the blessing you are about to bestow onto the world!
Cyenna Moret Powell
The name is colorful and exotic sounding. It ties in the C with the M. Cyenna means ‘greenish-blue’, while Moret (pronounced Mor-ay), means more, as obviously, she is adding yet more to the Powell Pack.
My suggestion is Jualis (pronounced Wallis)Taylor Powell. That would definitely look good on the credits of an Oscar or behind Dr. LOL isn’t a name for anyone yet, but I like the sound of it…
