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 love this combination of name. I chose the first name as Cynthia because it is unique and I know that you guys like unique yet pretty names. Plus the last name Powell is sexy!!!
Camilla June Powell
I think having June tie into the Johnny Cash inspiration is fun. I have always liked Camilla. It is feminine but would fit any personality she is born with. The name meaning is “attendant for a temple” which in a way suits what you and Chris do by helping others learn how to take care of their own personal temples (bodies).
Congrats:)
You have Marley and Matrix (2 M’s), Chris and Cash (2 C’s), now I think you need an H name to match you!
Here are my daughter and my suggestions:

I must say, when I was a kid I wanted to be like every other kid and be a Susan, or Sarah, or Amy. A familiar name that others had! Little did I know how much I would grow to love and respect my name and get so many comments on how pretty a name I have. My mother named me after Miss Huntington Beach at the time I was born because I was her little princess. My name is Lonna, and I love my name. It is actually Lonna Renee (first and middle name), just kind of rolls off your tongue doesn’t it? It is definitely an out of the box name.
Carlie Love Powell 🙂
I think you should name your baby girl MISTY DAWN! 🙂 Yes its my name, but it also is super cute to call her foggy morning. Get it!?? LOL My aunt would call me that all the time.
