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 really like the H idea! altho it is very hard to find an H name…I do like Hamilton! I think its a pretty cool name for a girl!!! Helaina is different! Haidence!!
But if a C is what you’re set on C then I suggest Carissa, Clarissa, Calissa, Calista, and Catherine!! Connie is a lil old but I’ve always liked it!!
My granddaughters name is Mercades and I love it! I also have a Lucy!
We have a grandson Maddix but he passed away when he was only 6 months old, on Christmas day 2006 🙁
congrats on the little bundle of joy!!! Can’t wait to see which name you choose!!!
I love your hubby!!! and I’ve really enjoyed seeing you help him with some of his clients on the show!!

It goes with the C name, it’s from the Last of the Mohicans. The character is strong and brave.
Since you already have Chris and Cash and Matix and Marley, I think you should have Hiedi and H…. What that H is I don’t know but it just seems right. 🙂 Maybe Hayden (like that cute blonde girl on the tv show Nashville). Here are some other cute options: Harper, Haddie, Halle, and Harlow. As far middle names go I like “ley” sounds like Kinsley (which is my daughters middle name, it was the name of the street that my husband and I first lived on together) or Tinsley. Good luck, I have no doubt you will pick a name that suits her, and honestly who cares what other people think even the boy named Sue turned out alright.
We named our little girl Brooklyn Cate. We love that it isn’t common.
Charlotte Zoe Powell
>>Charlotte \ch(ar)-lotte, charl(ot)-te\ the meaning of Charlotte is “free man”

I love the name Christian Angeline Powell (has a C like cash but also has Chris which to me is adorable to have a girl named for her daddy).
I have a Paige, Katelyn and Brooke.
