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!!!!

What if you went for a non-repetitive first name but where the nickname fits the ‘c’ theme…like Nicole, but call her Cole. 🙂
Cassandra Powell
Okay here are some names I love!
Camden Alexis Powell
Camryn Brielle Powell
Chloe Marie Powell
Cambrie Elise Powell
Courtney Arianna Powell
The first one is my favorite! I hope one stands out to you, Good Luck <3
Ruby Rose Powell
Cameo Lei Powell
Cameo means a sculptured gem and shadow portrait. This precious little girl will surely be a gem with parents like you and Chris and she will be a shadow of the love that created her. Lei means a flower bud. She will grow into a beautiful flower as she is nurtured by 2 wonderful, inspiring people who share their lives with others by inspiring and believing in all.
You should name her Christina Marie. And call her Crissy for short.
My mother’s name is Leora (lee or a). I so wish that I had named Kimberly (my daughter) Leora Kimberly…but I did not. It is such a pretty name, but then my mom is such a beautiful woman.
Leora Lee
Hello
Reading through all this postings, there are so many nice and lovely names. Important to me is the meaning of a name and the fitting to its family name – less or not at all the first letter.
My favorite names are DARLEEN DOMINIQUE (comes from “to dare” and Dominique is the french form of “Dominic” and used by males and females and has the christian meaning of ?belonging to the Lord?. If there has to be a nickname: Dary
However, l wish you a safe delivery and healthy child. God bless you.

What about Chloe Ann Powell if you want a C name. Or since Cash and Chris have the Cs you could do an H… Hayden Lea Powell or Hannah Marie Powell
I agree with the others I think you should give her an “H” name, I like Hadley Rose, but if you go with a “C” name I like Chantilly Lace but I know what ever you pick for her name she will wear it well and make the name beautiful. Congrats to you and Chris.
