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 think it should definitly be a C name…Cillian ( pronounce Kill EE an) who was my very first Irish friend..
good luck!
I really love old fashioned names like Sylvia and Ruby- those are always fun. BUT – my FAVORITE idea for a girl’s name is Lincoln – it’s strong and unique.
Hello,
I think Caylee is a nice name that goes along with Marley, and Cash very well. What about Carrie? Cash and Carrie? 😉
I propose alexia, his feast is February 17
Here lce that means his surname, Alexia is distinguished by his intelligence. She loves activities that allow them to fully exploit their intellectual abilities. She is also drawn to the study and believes that life is an eternal learning. It has its own criteria for choosing his friends, as it has a constant need for brain activity. She forges friendships with intelligent people who are likely to be exciting and informative discussions with her. She shared her life to the people whom she has full confidence. The name Alexia is celebrated on February 17 in honor of Alexis Falconieri, one of the founders of the Order of Servants of Mary.
K…I also have to add that I do get a lot of compliments on my name too. “Sarina”..meaning serene.
As well as my daughters name, “Madisyn”.
More to choose from 🙂
Christina Heidi
Some names I love and might have used had I had more girls instead of 7 boys and 1 girl are: Michelle Joelynn (my daughter’s name…her middle name is a combo of my middle name and her Dad’s). Madison Brynn, Marsden Isabella, Heidi Christina (hey…mommy and daddy), Malana Raelynn. i like all of these because a lot of them are not very common and of course I think all of these sound excellent with Powell!
Hi guys…I love the old fashion girl names. There is a simple, innocent and pretty beauty about the names from that time. We like “Olive”. Pair that with a two syllable modern middle name and you got the old with the new. The meaning of Olive is “Peace”.
Good luck!
Our daughter is named Brynna (Brin-uh), it is a Welsh name meaning ‘strong one’. Brynna was conceived through in-vitro fertilization after 5 long years of trying to conceive. She was one of 3 embryos transferred back to me and she was the one that held on and made it. We are so blessed, she is our miracle. We love the name. Brynna Lindley is her name. Good luck with the remainder of your pregnancy Heidi, you look awesome!!
I LOVE the name Charley for a girl. Then her name would be strong yet still feminine and follow suit with Marley and Matix. Marley, Matix, Cash and Charley.
