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!!!!

Well I have always loved the name Brieanna Ann or Brieanna Marie for a little girl. I how ever got a boy so Quentin is what I have for him. It is also said that you will know what name is right for her when she is born and you first see her. Good luck andhappy snuggling when she arrives.
CHRISTINA MARIE
Personally, I have wondered does a baby or child become the name or does the name become the child? I think if you can wait a bit till you see a baby’s personality it would be ideal but if you can’t here are some suggestions. As a girl myself with an androgenous full name I think those sometimes are cool but there are also very poetic names as well
SUGGESTIONS;
Charlie Noelle Powell
Ava Madeline Powell
Kalea or spelled Khalia. – Khalia Joy Powell
My favorite name for a girl has always been Amelia. It is timeless and elegent, yet exudes strength and confidence. It means “industrious leader”. I would go with Amelia Teresa Powell (Teresa after my sister’s best friend who just passed away – she was an amazing, amazing woman!!).

SARA SHAY
My boss had the last name of “Shay” & named his new daughter “Sara”. She was as beautiful as her name. I never forgot it, not for the past 40 years. If I would have been blessed with a daughter, I would have given her this name.
