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!!!!

First let me commend you for being so incredibly brave to put yourselves out there like this and open yourselves up to criticism, scrutiny and well – probably some crazy people and suggestions 🙂 With names like Matix, Marley and Cash, I highly doubt you will be opting for names like Mary or Ann. But don’t get me wrong, I like original and unique names but you make a good point when you say this individual has to live with that name for at least 18 years. With that said, I do like Cash. I live in Atlanta and it’s a pretty popular(southern)name; I also like Matix, however, I never seen it spelled that way, traditional spelling is Maddox. And as for Marley, sorry guys, love you to death but that is a dog’s name 🙁 So onto the matter at hand which is name selection. My personal favorites are Morgan and Simone – but my suggestions for you are – Hayden, Sidney, Caydence, Kensey, Rylie and Charlotte (call her Charlie) I see someone suggested “Cade”. My cousin named her “son” that so I’m not so sure about that. Best of luck in bringing your little bundle of joy into the world. Love you guys!
I think that her name should be Katalina….I like the sounds of it, and I don’t know to many people with that type of name….so it might be a good idea
How about SAMANTHA ELIZABETH POWELL. I gave both my kids long formal names that sound nice when shortened. I personally like the sound of Sam or Sammi. Just something to think about.
I love the names Margo and Quincy for a girl, but could never get my husband on board. Daphne was also a front runner for us with the most recent pregnancy (we just had our third boy).
Ok I just saw that three other people posted the name caelynn so even though I like I I thought I would suggest a more original first name. Here goes a few I haven’t read :
Colette Alexander(Alexandria) Powell
Channing Alexander Powell
Name her Leeland
Alicia Rose Powell 🙂
I wrote that a half hour ago but somehow it didn’t make it to your wall!!
Cristina Marie, Chellene Madison, Charlene (Charley) Rose….I would suggest pick a few when you meet her you will know
Brooke-Lynn Powell
