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!!!!

Carter June Powell
You get the other C and you reverse the name order of Johnny’s June so you have a strong gender ambiguous name for the first name and a very feminine name for the middle name.
If your baby girl turns out to want a more feminine sounding name she can choose to go by her middle name C. June Powell. You also have multiple nickname options (Carter-Carrie June-Junie or C.J.) and just as importantly the initials don’t spell anything and the letters don’t meld into each other so each name can clearly be enunciated.
Kamaria was always my girl pick, but alas I had two boys. When I was pg with my first son, the nickname would’ve been Kami, but 15yrs later, when I was pg with my second son, I liked the nickname Maia. In my family middle names are family names, so you could come up with something of significance. BTW. Kamaria means “like moon”.

I’ve always thought that McKenna was such a pretty name for a girl. Especially since the nickname “Kenna” is cute. If you named her McKenna her name would start with an M, but just call her Kenna all the time and Cash wouldn’t feel left out haha but honestly I feel like as kids get older, they could care less if their siblings have names that start with a certain letter or something 🙂
i like to suggest the name Charlene Joy so there are 2 C- namesand may she bring joy to your lives, whatever name you choose i still want to congratulate with the new familymember
I have always liked the name Hollis and then I became one in marriage.
Hollis Nichole Powell sounds nice!
Claudia :0)
I love the name Faith Crystal Powell. I believe faith is what it takes to raise a family, especially girls when they get into their teenage years and are dealing with various emotions, hormones, etc. I also love the name because faith is what keeps a family strong. I chose the name Crystal as the middle name thinking Chris would enjoy having his name as part of her name, since she will probably be a daddy’s girl, at least initially. I have no doubt you and Chris will find a perfect-fitting name for your angel. God Bless you and your family.
hi Heidi yeah I think maybe it should start with C cause cash would probably feel left out but since you like the names of me Justin and people that sing stop how about Blake Shelton and name little girl Shelton Reversi I don’t know any little girl name Shelton its very beautiful name and then it will fit with all the other ideas that you and your husband have Chris I think might like that Shelton with the sea sounds very pretty for girl I think it’s gorgeous your friend Donna from New York god blesswhen I speak this tablet sometimes writes the wrong things what I want to say again Blake Shelton but change the first letter to SC cuz I know of other persons with the main Shelton and it starts with the C but no little girls and I think Shelton very beautiful name with the city so than cash in Shelton can start with C
Omg I forgot Evelyn!! That’s my all time favorite.
