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 am thinking you should use both the c and the m in the name…for instance Cady Morgan Powell or Clarity McKenna Powell. However, if you do go with H, I like Henslee or Harper with maybe Grace as the middle name.
Caitlin is cute and timeless. And if she doesn’t like it she can cut it short into Catie which is also cute. Kaylie or Kayla. We all had C names haha Carla, Christie, and Catherine and our brother just had a K sound 🙂 Kenneth. I would stick with something where they can find their name personalized easily. Haha Caris is a cute name and sounds grown up too. Casey is a cute name and it’s not used a lot anymore. Kylie, Brylee, Bailey, Christin, I love baby names 🙂 I was going to use Bradley for a girl or Macie but I had a boy haha and named him Brady Ryan 🙂
There is 1 female name that I can find pretty unique and cute:
Cedeline
I would name her Merrilee… It is different enough but still “normal”… It means “Happiness”…
🙂
Ella…simple, elegant and beautiful…like her new family!
Jocelyn Joslyn Clarisa Cora
Good luck finding the right name…you will know it when you find it.
Cash has Daddy as another C, how about an H to go with Mommy?
Hannah, Haley, Heather, Haidee, Harley, Hollie
If you want to go with a “C” name, I LOVE Colbie! You could play around with the spelling, or even go for a “K”. So, how about~ Colbie Love Powell? I’m a sucker for virtue middle names (Grace, Faith, Hope)! A special family name would be really meaningful as well! God bless your amazing family!!
My parents gave the first 3 kids, (me, being one, the same initials). I never think about it. The youngest 3 have obviously different initials. It is never a topic of conversation except the fact that we mock our parents here and there.
As for names… My brother named his son Dylan, after Bob Dylan and it is a unisex name. Would be cute on a girl. Good luck with whatever you choose. Love your family!
I love all three of my girls names..Eva Jean, Addisen, and Kennedy Grace. I named my Kennedy Kennedy because my dad died when I was fifteen and his name was kenneth. Any name you name her she will be beautiful and loved! God Bless!
