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 like Heidi Christina! that way she can be named after both of you in a way, but you can call her by a nickname, like Tina. By the way, it’s not nice to post a pic of Chris with his shirt off holding a baby & then when we click you can’t see it. 🙂
I think a C name would be perfect….. my suggestion is Caryssa Lee Powell….any other one syllable middle name would go great! Good luck with your choice!
How about?… Caroline, Camden, Charlie, Cecilia, Cielo (means Sky in Spanish) or Consuelo
What do you think of Jordan, Eve, or Regan?
Now with a middle name: Jordan Maria Powell,
Hayden Eve Powell, Regan Lane Powell
Sorry to add more to ponder 😉
If I ever had a girl, I wanted to name her Cholet. It is a pretty French name. Not common. However, my husband says no since our last name starts with a C. Not sure on a middle name, but Cholet Powell sounds pretty I think 🙂 Happy name hunting!
Congrats on baby #4! I agree that you should go with an “H” since you have two with “M” and two with “C.” This baby can share your “H” with you.
I like Harper Avan Powell
Harper for Harper Lee, author of “To Kill A Mockingbird” and Avan or Avyn, which I just made up because I like Ava but don’t think it sounds good with Harper. So, Harper Avan Powell. Initials would be HAP, like happy!
How about Willow? So pretty and an upside down M.
Since you have 2 with M’s and only one with a C I’d go with a C this round! We are having a little girl named Karlie in January…. could always go Carlie! We also have a Kash but it’s with a K! We don’t have any significance in the first names but we use great grandparents’ names as middle names! Any name you choose will be perfect!!
So my niece’s name is Jordan Mae after her great grandmothers so family names. So that is a great name or I’m Kerry Suzanne after the County Kerry in Ireland, you could spell it Cari so her and Cash will have the C or Megan Anne Powell just food for thought! Good Luck!
