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!!!!

Cora…..Let me know if you need a postpartum doula!!:):)
Clarissa Rose Powell and for a nickname call her Riss or Rissa
I also love these H names…Hazel, Harper, and Helena. I really suck at middle names so im not even gonna go there, already I have seen some really adorable ones.
While Matix and Marley are both “m” and Chris and Cash are “c”, so the baby should be named with an “h” since no one shares with Heidi. Heather sounds pretty or Haleigh.
Bless my hwart I put boy names….even tho I think
Creed is a cute girls name too
Chloe
Cambry
Cadence
Carrington
How about Cadence? Music related without the musician & starts with a C. 🙂
Having a son name Jason Lee and then a daughter Jeni Marie who was only with us for a short year, I then had a beautiful healthy baby girl, but my husband being a teacher and every name reminded him of someone, I finally told him to pick a name, Jamie Dee, she is the most wonderful young lady and always has been. She is loving, strong everything we want our daughters to be. She is a middle school teacher and we all know what that takes.
Thanks for listening. By the way she is 34 and that was when the bionic woman was on.
I am a fan of the old names not matronly, but not a name everyone else has. name. Audrey, Chloe, Eliza, Frances, Celeste, Ruby, Elise, Lucy, Abbey, Honor, Paige Phoebe.
Any other day I can come up with tons, but I am just drawing a blank.
You will know her name when she gets here. It just comes to you. She will tell you.
Can’t wait to se “her”.
