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!!!!

CoraLyn, Carley, Charlie, or Cadence
My daughters names: Katelynn~Name her this because I liked the name Kate, and my grandfather who passed away was named Lynn. I was going to name her Kayla, but changed my mind at the hospital.
My Daughter Alexa is named after Billy Joel”s storm front album & his daughter.
My daughter Hannah is a bible name.
And my daughter Emily Rose both my husband and I liked the name
Celeste, Christiana
How about Christdi pronounced Christie. I’m a combination of Chris and Heidi!
My advice would be if you can’t think of a C name then just go with a different letter other than M just to avoid the possibility of Cash feeling left out. The music theme is obviously your decision. I personally LOVE all of your children’s names.
My suggestions for a C name: Cadence Emilia Powell, Cassidee Haven Powell, Cara Brookelyn Powell, Cali Leanne Powell-(my favorite for you guys).
I hope you find a name that suits you guys. Congratulations
Maci May
I LOVE little girls with Boy’ish names. My daughter is Mason so she gets the nickname of May, or Macy. Or others that are normally boy names Charlie, Cameron, Ryan. When they are older they are cool names to have. I feel like my name is still a little kid name. I like names that shorten into a nick name too. Good luck in your name decision!
My oldest of 4 is Raina Jade so when baby 4 came along we wanted to name her Adi Rain well baby 4 was a boy.
Cassidy Harper
Chandler
Baby girl name: Christina Heidi Powell.
Christina (Chris for her Dad’s name) and middle name her Mom’s name.
