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!!!!

If you go with a C name, I suggest Camry Rose.
How about a girls name, Trista mehgan. That’s my daughters name trista is not a name much heard. Good luck
Hello, great news you having a baby girl… I have a couple of sugestions: Sara, Rosa and Emilia!!! All the best for you and your family! Can’t wait to hear wich name you choose!!! Kind regards
How about Christina Heidi. That way she has both do you in every way:)
The first name that popped into my mind even before reading your entry was “Carissa”. Checked the meaning and it’s “beloved / grace(= favor / blessing)”. Second that came to me was “Alina”, meaning “light”. Third, which actually would go nicely in the middle of the first two was “Ester”, meaning “Star”.
So, all together: “Carissa Estel Alina”. After all, she is and will be a beloved blessing and your little shining star! ? 🙂
Cadence Hope Marie Powell
Corrine Harper Powell?
Going by the C suggestion…I like Cadence Autumn Powell. Autumn is just because I love the name and she will be born during that season.
Or with an M… Madeline Grace Powell, and nickname her Maddie Grace
Or even Catherine Grace because Catherine means pure, that’s where my name derives from
Oh, I forgot to say “Congratulations!!” I hope you and Chris find a name that you not only both agree on, but love. Good luck!!
In my opinion Talithia, Faith, Hannah, Rose, and Sabrina are some of the prettiest names that I can think of off the top of my head. I personally believe a persons personality often (but not always) coincides with the meaning of their name. I know Hannah means grace or favor. Sabrina Rose Powell sounds really pretty.
