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!!!!

My suggestion may sound corney, but, it’s my name ~ Scherrill ~ pronounced Cheryl. I suggest it for this reason,it is an unusual spelling to a more common name. My great-grandmother named me and my name was to be my name no matter my gender. The spelling is German. I have only once, in my whole life had someone spell my name Scherrill, and she was a German lady! 🙂 Having an unusually spelled name has given my a lot of grace with people in my life, taught me patience, kindness, and walking in love! I love my name, and I’m grateful to my mom for having my great-grandmother name me. I am, also, a midwife, following in the steps of my great, great, and great-grandmothers!
There are only about a dozen people in the US with the spelling of Scherrill.
I LOVE your show, and the information that is shared on Facebook!
Thank you!
Scherrill
Thinking about what the two of you do for so many others, I think the names Hope,Charity, or Grace would be really appropriate, because you give it and inspire so many others. Your baby would have a name that reminds her every day of what loving, devoted parents she has, to her, along with so many other people you have helped along the way, with your devotion and love.
Kathleen is a beautiful name, do not nickname, always call her Kathleen
I also like Caldwell, Cassidy, Charlie & Creed
Christiana Faith Powell would be cute! It’s hot daddy’s name in it and is just simple beautiful!
Oceanna Christina Powell
Rylee…..in Irish it means courageous and valiant
We relly liked the name Lowynn Reign flows really well together just a thought
Forget about the C. Lorie is a cute name, common but not overused!
Hey Heidi….how about Cagney?
