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!!!!

My favorite girl name has always been Emily Grace, but if you want to stick to a name starting with C, I would name her Charlotte and call her Charlie.
I like the names Crysta Madelynn. Then both the C and M are included. Congratulations on your newest addition. You have a beautiful family.
Marilyn Rose is my daughters name. I would be happy to share. It is a beautiful name.
Also Candice Rose…..good names…good luck!
How about Caci? It’s Gaelic for strong and you two are strong physically, emotionally and as a family unit. 🙂
It’s always important to make sure that you try and avoid rhyming names and names the have initials that spell something. For instance, you probably don’t want Christina Ursula Powell (C.U.P.) or Stephanie Amelia Powell (S.A.P.). Lol. Good luck on the baby name hunt! Maybe you could name her after yours and Chris’s mothers? Don’t know their names but that is my suggestion.
Hi im from Venezuela.. de names the i like..
Camila means “that which is in front of God”
Good Luck!
Casey is cute, thats my cats name…
Casey, masey, mika, mikella, mira, miela, cadence, cierra 🙂
The name I suggest is, Hadley Raelyn Powell. I love this name so much. This is what we were going to name our baby if it was a girl. I can not have anymore children after this baby boy ,so we will not be using this girl name. I’m so happy for you!! You inspire me as a wife and mom!
