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 sister has 4 1/2 year old twin girls. Cameron Rose and Charlotte Marie (Charlie for short). My mother’s maiden name is Cameron and we live in Charlotte, NC. My father’s sister Rosemarie passed away before the girls were born and this is how my sister chose to remember her. My suggestion is Cameron Grace Powell or Charlotte Faith Powell. Good luck!
When I was pregnant with our one and only child (so far anyways) my hubby and I picked out names for both a girl and a boy. Turned out we were havin a boy 🙂 I knew I wanted to honor my dad in some way in the baby’s name. My dad’s middle name was “Roy” so for a boy we had picked the name “Royce” in honor of my dad. Ian Royce was born in May 2011. I still love the girls name we had picked out. My dad had sung the song made famous by Bette Midler called “The Rose” at my wedding. He actually went to a studio and recorded it so we could dance to it as the father-daughter dance. Because of this I knew I wanted the name “Rose” as one of my daughter’s names so we chose “Saeda (pronounced “Say-da) Rose” if it was a girl. My dad had passed away quite suddenly and unexpectedly 3 weeks after my husband and I were married. Okay so that was kind of a rambling story but that was the significance in why I chose those names for us 🙂 Best of luck and congrats on the newest pack member 🙂
Cadee or Caden.
It is obvious that you’ve already created a neat pattern in giving your kids names. That in and of itself should make are your kids feel special. I think you should make baby #4 being with a “C.”
Caitlyn (or Caitlin) Roseann Powell
Cammie Roseann Powell
I hope your baby is blessed with the perfect name.
Celeste June Powell
I think a pretty name would be Charis Joy Powell. Charis is Greek for Grace or the grace of God. Joy is because that what she will be to your family and is an expression of your love.
Clara Bell Powell
Harper Grace Powell
