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!!!!

A few suggestions…
Ryanne Marie Powell

Carerra Asher Powell
It was hard to read through all of those, you have a tun of ideas! I don’t think this one was mentioned:
Harper
I’m not sure of a middle name, I always love to use family names. Maybe…
Harper Jane Powell?
Chloe Faith Powell, Chloe Grace Powell. Something like that. Go with a C name.. 🙂

My daughters’ names are Tessa Jade, Kelly Nicole, and Asher Kaitlyn. Asher is probably the most unusual, it’s usually a boy’s name, but is pretty enough for a girl, and not too unusual to make it weird. Asher is a Hebrew name meaning happy and blessed. What more could you want, right? My name is Vivienne, which means lively, but Brangelina just named their daughter after me 😉 so you may not want to use that!
My husband and I were always very strong minded about what to name our kids and the importance of a good name, We wanted for our kids to have names that conveyed strength and intergrity as well as representing a small piece of who we are. When my first some was born we named him Darion RyeWolf Youngblood, after a guardian within my specific faith system, Then my second son was born Lucian Reign Youngblood which means Ruler of the light in Celtic. Then it came time for our daughter, this one we deliberated over for a long time. Ever since I was a child I wanted to name my daughter Serenity, this caused some controversy within our family with some concerns about teasing due to the unique nature of the name. We ended up deciding on something that would give her options as she grew Serenity Kayden Youngblood, as she grows if she has troubles with Serenity she can also go by Ren, Kay, Kayden or also she can use her initials and go by Sky, all of which I would be happy with because in the end she will always be my Serenity. Now when ever people see our children and hear their names they are not only impressed but immediately fall in love with them. Hope my story helps
I love the name Kaiya (there are multiple different ways you can spell it – In Finland, it is spelled Kaija and means “pure” or “life”). Or if you want it to start with a “C”, the name Cai is nice. I also thought the name Pippa went well the the Powell last name.
So my suggestions are:
Kaiya Powell
Cai Powell
Pippa Powell
As for a middle name, I think that should be something special to you guys 🙂
Madelyn Grace. It’s my daughter’s name, and its meaning is beautiful. Also, when I yell it, it flows really well. 🙂
Hi Heidi,
I think you should go with a C name. My daughter’s name is Cassandra, however I think you should name her Cady ? Powell. Maybe Rose, Lee or Ann as a middle name. Good luck on the name!!!
