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 think the H theme would be fun to stick with! I have a couple of friends who have girls with adorable H names…one of them is Hadley which is cute and the other is Haven. I’m sure whatever name you and Chris choose will be a great one though 🙂
My suggestions are: Gwynn Rowan Powell, Halina Irelynn Powell, and Michayla Cameron Powell.
Although using a C is “cute” I think in the long run it creates a separation between the 2 older kids to the young 2. As to say- this is a connection with you and Chris they don’t have. My opinion would be decide on a name you love and has a story/meaning behind it- no matter the letter, your musical name, etc. As long as there is a meaningful story behind the name to tell your little girl- that is what she will appreciate! Just my 2 cents! 😉 Good Luck and Congrats!
I had two boys which I named Travis and Wade. I had girl names picked out, I wanted a girl so badly, but I never got to use them so maybe you would like them. Shelby Renee Powell, Anastasia Renee Powell (nickname = Stasy), If you want an M then you may like Maegan Cathline Powell. Good luck and Congratulations.
I like the idea of a C name. I think Courtney would be a beautiful name. Not sure on middle name, I had all boys and used my husband’s name for first son’s middle name & grandpa’s names for twin’s middle names, so maybe you could use a family name for middle. Good luck 🙂
or Maybe
