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!!!!

Keep the “M” theme going with the girl. Who know God may bless you with another one and the next one might be a boy. Besides as you know…Daddy is Chris, so there you go with the other “C” How about the name Madysen (Surname derived from Matthew ‘gift of God’ or from Matilda ‘strong fighter). We too our the Powell Pack. We are blessed with one son…his name is Noah Daniel which means “walk with God” and “Godis my Leader”. Good luck and God bless the other Powell Pack!
I always loves the names Addison & Arabella, but some good names are Calynn, Bellatrix, Ariana, Calista,Charity, Sutton, Thalia. Hope that helps!
Chyna Lynn Powell, After all she will look like a China Doll, but strong like a Ninja! I’m just saying!
I love the name – Chloe Grace – I wish i could have another daughter so I could name her that.
I like the names Christina or Hannah.
Autumn Grace Powell. <3

My brother is a Powell and has two girls. Grace Elizabeth Powell and Madeline Rose Powell. My daughter is Emma Katherine and that would go nicely with Powell.

I love the idea of you having two M names and two C names!! And if you go that route, clearly Christina named after your precious hubby would fit! ;-)He’s such an inspiration to so many…why not name your daughter after him. Christina Heidi…after two awesome people/parents! (Although, given the unique names of your other kids, maybe it’s too mainstream???)My daughter is MICHAELYN…named after a girl I went to school with…I loved the name…just happened to marry a Mike…so people think it’s our two names combined. My last daughter is Kira…named after Kyra Sedgewick…I had to change the spelling because everyone mispronounced it. I suggested it to my husband when we couldn’t figure out a name and I was weeks away from giving birth…I did it as a joke because he usually likes traditional names like Rachael and Rebecca…but he FELL IN LOVE with that name…so we named her that! Maybe you two just need to throw names at each other and if one loves it, go with it…it’ll grow on the other person…that’s what happened with us…I didn’t really like the name Kira…now I LOVE it! Good luck!!
