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 love the name Kaylie (KA-LEE) for a girl. You could spell it with a C…Caylee or Caleigh or Cayleigh to go with Cash. Both of my boys are J names and I think they like having that connection! Best wishes for you new little bundle!!! 🙂

Give her a name that starts with H. Chris & cash. Matix & Marley. Heidi and…..
I like the idea of doing a C name to go with Cash, but you also already have 2 C names because of Chris. So you could also go with an H name so then you have 2M, 2C, and 2H. So here are my top favorites. I think you should go with HOPE or FAITH for a middle name. I suggest those because that is what you both inspire in some many of us, whether we have met you in person or not! and perhaps this little girl of yours with also instill HOPE or FAITH in others as well, and live up to that name.

I have a few ideas, all beginning with C (I really like C names): Cody, Camille/Camilla, Cassidy, or Corinne!
My suggestion is Caroline Hope Powell. Caroline comes from “Sweet Caroline” by Neil Diamond. Hope comes from the hope you, Chris and your family give to many, many people, including me!
