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!!!!

Autumn Rose is such a pretty name. I would have named my daughter this but it did not go with out last name 🙁 everyone turned me down.
Oh well… good luck with the rest of your pregnancy
Hi Heidi!!
Clarice is a good name for your baby girl, I have 3 boys and if I would have a girl, would be Clarice!
Good luck in your mission, it’s soo hard!!! 🙂
I suggest the name Carissa… it means the most beloved one.
Charlotte, but call her Charley! It is the “C” like Cash, ends in “ey” like Marley, and has no musician link, like Matix!
Violet…love the name
I’m having our baby girl next Friday if she doesn’t come sooner and Quincy is at the top of our list! Good luck!
Ella
Aija. I heard this name today, it was a beautiful little Italian 3 year old and thought it was beautiful and unique. Say it out loud, if you can figure out how to pronounce it 🙂
Charlotte. Starts with a C to keep it even. No musicians that I can think of. Not overly popular but not too unique. Its just beautiful.
Hello happy familly Powell,
I am mother of two lovely girls. The oldest one is Alina (3 yr old) and her name means “someone that will ease you up if you are sad”. I see that in other language’s means also noble, beautiful, bright and this is what they say about “People with this name tend to initiate events, to be leaders rather than followers, with powerful personalities. They tend to be focused on specific goals, experience a wealth of creative new ideas, and have the ability to implement these ideas with efficiency and determination. They tend to be courageous and sometimes aggressive. As unique, creative individuals, they tend to resent authority, and are sometimes stubborn, proud, and impatient.” .
The baby one is Mathilda (14 November she will be 1 year old) and her name means “Strong in war. Strength for battle” . “People with this name are excited by change, adventure, and excitement. They are dynamic, visionary and versatile, able to make constructive use of freedom. They fight being restricted by rules and conventions. They tend to be optomistic, energetic, intelligent, and to make friends easily. They may be changeable, restless, untidy, and rebellious.”
I wish you all the best! Enjoy the last weeks, is the greatest feeling for a women 🙂
You are a model for a lot of people (for me also), and thank God you exist.
Greetings,
Ani
