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!!!!

how about Kailey?! 🙂 of course, you could spell it with a C.. Like Caylee. My middle name is Anne, and I have only heard it a few other times with Elizabeth, Marie, Claire,and Grace as middle names.
I think your special little one needs a name that will combine the two of your names together. I believe Cash would really love a sister named with the letter “C” and I’m thinking Christina would be great and to go with the “H” in your name Harley or Hannah would be so special and of course Powell for the last name. Hope this helps and whatever you name her I know she will be adorable!
Yes! Must be a C! 🙂 *Chloe Grace Powell. Best of Luck!
Nikole-Melania,??????-???????
1. Callie Rose Powell
2. Hollon Grace Powell
3. Ava Jade Powell
4. Chloe May Powell (this one starts with M and has a C!)
Wow, you have some great suggestions! A lot to sort through! I love the one that suggested you go with an H name to match yours! She gave some great suggestions – Hadley & Harper are so cute! I like Hattie and Hope too. Hope is so pretty and classic but rarely used as a first name anymore.
Hello beautiful family! I cannot think of any “c” names. Charissa is pretty. A “m” name is McKenna. And here’s what we’ll be naming our baby if its a girl–Noelle. Good luck!!!!!
Cassandra June Powell. The “C” goes with Cash and Chris, and the June goes with Johnny. I love it. And her nickname could be Cassy, which is “sassy!”
Clara 🙂
Congrats! Girls are so very sweet! If I were ever able to have a baby girl, (we adopted 4 kiddos and 3 already came named Jenna included), I would have named her Kollette, it could be spelled with a C. I always thought Koley would have been a cute nick name. Anyways, good luck! Colette Elizabeth Powell sounds good! Lol!
