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!!!!

Charlie Elizabeth Powell
I’m suggesting this because I have always thought that women with seemingly male names come across as strong. One of the most important things for women is to give them strong beginnings. Also, Kelly McGillis’s call sign in Top Gun is Charlie…and she was an instructor in a world and time where women were unheard of, plus, lets be fair, it’s my favorite movie. Elizabeth as a middle name because Elizabeth I was one of the most beloved leaders in England and embodied a strong but compassionate leadership style, especially after the horrors of Mary. Elizabeth II, being the current Queen of England, started her reign unexpectidly, and without any “grooming” because she was third in line for the thrown. Despite all this, she has grown to be one of the most beloved queens and shows great leadership capabilities to not only the nation, but to her family. Plus, Elizabeth is my name and that would just be too cool if you named your perfect warrior princess that!
Melody might be a good first name. It starts with M and is musically linked. If you want a C musically liked go with Carrey. As in Mariah. She has really done quite a lot in her career while maintaining a decent reputation.
I always said if I ever have a girl her name would be Irene Marie or Irene Daphne , congrats when the new Powell bundle comes <3
Aria Christina Powell
“As a female given name, Aria means ‘lioness’ in Hebrew, or ‘air’ in Italian. It also refers to “aria”, a self-contained piece for one voice usually, most commonly found in the context of opera.” Wikipedia
I just named my baby girl Eulalie May. I don’t know any other Eulalies, but Poe wrote a poem about one and she is the mayor’s wife in The Music Man, so it’s not without culture 🙂 We call her Lalie for short, and the name means “sweet words” or “well spoken.”
Good luck with the name and congrats on a girl–ruffle buns and bows are SO much fun 🙂

Sierra Rose Powell
1st Choice: Charlotte Elizabeth Powell
2nd Choice: Maya Renee Powell
3rd Choice: Grace Heidi Powell
Good Luck! After 2 boys, our daughter was almost named Abigail (Abbey) Joyce, but when we met her she looked more like a Kayla Anne.
Claire, Cassidy, Charlotte, Caroline,
Hi Heidi my name is Amber and I love you guys! You are amazing and Chris inspires many people as well. However I love that you are giving all your fans a chance to give their ideas for your babygirl. As for me I am not going to pick my own name but I think Chasity June Powell is beautiful only because your baby boy is Willaim Cash. So thanks for taking time to read it!
