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
I know others through the list have probably suggested one if not both of these names, but for me it is a little close to home. My real name is a boy’s name and growing up I hated it. As an adult it was ok, but still considered to me gender specific. I named my daughter Cheyenne because I always thought that a very pretty name. A couple of years back when i first started social netwroking, I needed a screen name. A friend suggested Autumn because of my red hair and my moods that sometimes change with the seasons. Lastly, I love autumn, to me it is like God’s way of reminding us that there is beauty in change, and that the process of life includes shedding the old and making room for the new. Then the rose is a flower that symbolizes the beauty in strength and diversity. The rose comes in so many colors and all have a beauty of their own. The rose, while one of the most beautiful flowers also has thorns for self-defense. It reminds me that I can be beautiful, classy, loving, and giving, but that doesn’t mean I have to be a doormat, I can stand up for myself and should when necessary, and doing so does not make me less beautiful, rather it makes me ten times more so.
Other suggestion:
Paisley Rayne – just because I think it is a REALLY cool name and different.
Kaylee Dawn, Mackenzie Anne, Brianna Nicole, Jenna Lee, Makayla, Cheyanne Marie. If you want to go with music you could always go with Presley Jane Powell after Elvis Presley.
Corah, cierra (my 7 yr old Addison suggested that) or Celia – mostly all bc they’re just c names that are pretty, different and could go with your other names 😉
I like the name Malayna Aubrey. Just think it’s sweet and beautiful.
Elsa Powell (middle name should be named after a grandmother or godmother)
We named our little girl Aubriella. I never have heard this name before but we get so many compliments on it. There are so many “short” versions our daughter will be able to use when she gets older if she doesn’t like it….Ella, Brielle, briella, Aubrey, bri etc. hope this helps! You are a very inspiring couple! Best wishes!
I would suggest you wait til she is born, we didn’t and when he was born he didn’t look like a Bradley, that being said, I like Erika Elaine, or Charlotte and call her Charlie…. Blessings for you and yours,….Trish
If you have a girl, the perfect name is “Capri”…..
Bianca Renee Powell
Danica Renee Powell
Hannah Grace Powell
Aria Danielle Powell
Carlie is cute and Charlotte is cute but call he Charlie. As in Good Luck Charlie 🙂 Your job just got harder since you are a public figure. I feel for you, but know whatever you decide she will be entering the world surrounded by love. I am hoping for a NOVEMBER 11th birthday to share with this angel. 🙂
