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 C name Caydence.
That is so funny, I was going to say Zoe, and the first comment I see says Zoe! Zoe means life and I love that name! (pronounce Zoey) I don’t think you have to worry about M’s and C’s and musicians… Just give her a strong name that means something … get the bigger kids involved too… Let them come up w/ a middle name? My 5 year old named my youngest! He just kept saying that his name was Joseph, and it just stuck 🙂 We never officially named our kids until after they were born… drives people crazy! haha!
In thinking of Cash, I am more partial to Casey Nichole Powell, or Cassandra La Star Powell. But, I also think we should think of a letter that honors the H for Heidi. Maybe Hilda Michelle Powell, or Hannah Christine Powell
Elora, Willow, Hunter (yes, it can be a girls name)
SO according to Google Matix is a clothing company. Did you know that? So maybe since you have “bob” Marley and “Johnny” Cash this baby could have a clothing company name as well. And since Cash starts with a c same as your husband maybe this baby should start with and h like yourself. but I really didn’t see any cute H clothing company names. maybe you know of one. but if you stuck with a c and went with a clothing company like Candie and Charlotte that would be really cute.
Candie Marie Powell
Charlotte Rose Powell.
the middle names I just randomly picked
good luck!
Ah the baby name dilemma…:) Madison Kaye Powell,Amanda Hope Powell,Amber raine Powell, Paisley Ann Powell,Emily Madison Powell, Molly Rose Powell, Peyton Dee Powell…I love babies however I let my health go and im 40 this month so no more little ones for me:(
Jenika Brianne.. my favorite name!
Congrats to a very deserving couple! How about naming her Cheyanne Rose Powell (Cheyanne spelled with an “a” on purpose). Good luck on choosing her name! The perfect name may come when you see her beautiful face for the first time 🙂
I like the posts with name choices of Cree and Cate. If it were me, I would definitely use a “C” name. And, I like the reasoning that the post with “Cree” had….that being that Cree & Cash are 4 letter names while the 2 “M’s” are 6 letter names. That’s definitely how my brain would work/think.
I also like the name Cree because of it not being so common, as neither are the other kiddos names.
