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 youngest daughter is stunning in soul and spirit- we named her Lesaya ( la say ah) Jayelle ( jay el) Jael was a very brave woman bible character a
She is 23 and wise beyond her years
Just an idea 🙂
I’m all about the equality. We’ve got 3 kids all with the letters, ‘and.’ Our last name has ‘and,’ and my first name too (Me- Amanda The kids- Landon, Chandler & Anderson) I personally would do 2 Ms and 2 Cs and no famous musician. Since Matix can be a last name why not choose another last name for a first name? Steal our daughters name, Chandler! It’s unique like the others. And the 2 musician names can be sandwiched by the last names. Our kids all have family names for middle names, so maybe a maiden or favorite aunt or grandparent. Your maiden name would be perfect. Btw, I can’t believe I commented. Sometimes I crindge when I read some of the stuff people say to you guys on social media. In the end whatever you choose will be perfect but people will always have something to say! So just love it anyway!
Teaghan Lynn Powell
Lydia Grace Powell…..I really just like the way this name flows, it’s old fashioned but yet sounds graceful.
What about Camille? I also like Chloe. I like middle names to have some kind of significance, like a family member or someone you really love or respect. Or even give her your middle name. Good luck!
Cassie 🙂
Isla Camille Powell (the “s” in Isla is silent). I also like Sienna… Good luck!!
Cadence heidi powell
Charis Joy Powell. Charis means “grace” and is pronounced “karis.” Your lives are certainly filled with beautiful grace :). And I’m guessing she has already brought you more joy than you could ever express!!
My daughters name is Forginzja but her callname is Ginger
