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!!!!

I like the name Kaya Grace Powell.
Kaya means pure or good field.
Grace means good will.
Considering all the good that you and Chris do in our world, I think that a name that means good and pure is perfect because that little girl would know that her name represents her parents and the legacy they are creating for her, her sister, and her brothers.
I’m italian and usually we don’t pay a lot of attention to the starting letter, at least not in the northern part of the country. if you want to chose a name related to musicians.. well Iris is a name I love, and Bono Vox’s mother name.. “almost” a musician, isn’t it?
I like italians names of course, but I understand it would be quite difficoult.. I like Viola, which is translated with Violet, I also like Emma, which is an italian by the way! Starting with C… why not Cleopatra? 🙂 🙂 🙂
Another thought … Catherine — like the new princess — and call her Cat. Cute!
Cassadi Marie Powell
I love this name. If it would have been a boy I love Austin James Powell..
I love Extreme Weight Loss. You both are totally awesome.
I wasn’t able to have children, but I had two beautiful names picked out, so I thought that I would share them with you.
Aspen Mackenzie
and Phoenix Angelina
I love names that are unique. Best of luck.
Carmella
My daughter is spunky and full of full of life. Her name is Sawyer Grace. But Lennon is one of my favorite girls name for a singer. Named after John Lennon.
I love these two simple but beautiful names Savannah Jade and Charlotte Maddison 🙂 just add Powell heehee. Congrats and good luck sweets xo
As I was reading about the name crisis, the name Camilla Grace popped in my mind. My moms name was Grace and she was a wonderful woman. I think Camilla Grace Powell is a very elegant and graceful name!
Cristiana Grace
I always thought Raina Marie was a good name. Although if you want the C and M names you can make her a Carli Marie?? Okay I like Marie..
