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!!!!

We just named our daughter Avery. I love it! Modern but not trendy. Feminine but not prissy. 🙂
How about the name Cadence?
Cadence means flow or rhythm as applied to language, music, or movement. In music, a cadence is a sequence of notes which indicates the end of a phrase. In the military, a cadence is a chant performed while marching or drilling.
I also like Emersyn Lake, Peyson Faith, Sophia Maria or you could go southern with Emma Grace! I think any name you choose will be peefect!
Erica
Ciera Morgan Powell
Cecily Grace (CeCe for short) Charleigh Nicole if you want to stick with a C so cash don’t feel left out or you could tell cash that him and his daddy has the same first letter so you have a Chris and Cash, Matix and Marley and then Heidi and and the baby will have the same first letter and you could name her Hadley Shay Powell, Harper Eliana Powell. Good Luck with whatever you decide to pick..Can’t wait to see what you decide!
Colette Ayanna Powell maybe?
My daughters are Guinevere Annabelle and Kaitlyn Abigayle. Both my husband and I are fan of Arthurian legend, hence Guinevere. I honestly took a lot of flack from my family for Guinevere (although everyone LOVES it now) so we chose Kaitlyn for our second daughter. If I ignored the comments, I would have named her Juliet Maybelle.
Choose a name that means something to you and strikes a chord with you and Chris. Don’t let anyone second guess your decision!
I’m a teacher, so I am picky with names as well. If your looking for a c name….I thought of Chloe. I had a student named Chloe and she was very sweet!
I have 3 boys but if I had had a girl, I would have named her Swayze. Yes, as in Patrick Swayze. Not because I love him necessarily but I knew a little girl named Swayze several years ago and just fell in love with it! I dont think it has to be a C name.
My daughter’s name is Kayton Lynlee. It is not very common and we get compliments on it all the time. She loves her name, too! You could spell it Cayton if you want it to start with a C. Best of luck! I’m sure whatever you choose will fit her perfectly. All the best, Tracey
