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 think you should name your baby “Nichola”Pronounced Ni-co-la. This name is Italian. I came to the USA 16 years ago and pretty much every person that I have met, has never heard of this name. So this makes it Unique. Your other kids names are great, and I certainly don’t think that it needs to start with a C. Nichola means lovey…… happy, beautiful, caring, sensitive, forgiving, never gives up, works to their full potential, creative, but don’t mess with her cause she’ll will be you down. This too me sounds like the characteristics that you would like your daughter to have. Good luck on whatever you decide. Thanks for taking the time to read this, Nichola x
Finley Lee Powell or Elsa Lee Powell 🙂 You could substitute ‘Lee’ for a family name of your own if you’d like.
I think these two names are both beautiful and Finley means ‘fair warrior’ which I just love!
Okay….How about MERITA for an “M”? CAILIN for a “C”? Merita is my first name and was my dad’s older sister’s name(she passed away at 18months. We carried the name on….don’t hear it that much. The Cailin, no reason, just liked it!! I thought that even calling a little girl CAI would be cute.
Either way, congrats to you and Chris(the kids too) on this new bundle of joy coming your way!
I think if you use a C.. Carly LeighAnn Powell or another name Hattie Grace Powell…Ameila Hope Powell..
I was unable to have a girl you are very blessed but it we did have a girl we would have named her Reagan its irish not sure of the meaning. You mentioned the boys were named after musicians but never stated how you arrived at the name Matix for you daughter, perhaps go the same route…??
Well, you have two that start with “M”, and Cash and Chris are your two “C” names. Soooo…..baby needs to start with “H”, to even it all out 🙂
I’m suggesting Heather Marie Powell. I pick my own name for the middle, because my birthday is in November as well (7th).
I like the name Cecilia not because it is mine name as well but there are not many that has that name. IT is also a C and. She was also considered the saint of music. 🙂
Chrissi Marie Powell
Well, if you like ‘C’ and a musician, Carly (Simon)! 🙂
Darly Tatiana Powell or…. Tatiana, means fairy princess… Darly and Marley would have a commonality in sound… but yet be different? =) Then everyone would be connected… yeah?!
or….
Genevieve Marie Powell… she can have lots of fun nicknames… Jen, Jenny, Eve, Evie or Evie Marie…
