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 Audra Faith. Audra means nobility/strength in French. Or Darlene or Briana. Briana means Strong! Good luck choosing a name 🙂
Juliana or Abigail! Two unique names that can both be shortened and aren’t very common names. Plus they both have great meanings! I understand the dilemmas in choosing names, it was 2 years ago I had go not only choose 1 but 2 names for my twin girls, and remember thinking its hard enough picking one name. I’m sure you’ll find a great one tha suits her and goes with the family name as well. Blessings on your decision!
Congratulations!! I think you should also consider a name starting with a C. My suggestion is Cami Monroe Powell. But I’m sure whatever is decided will be great name!! Best wishes 🙂
I mean’t ‘wouldn’t name her with a C’. Sorry!
I like Alexis and Emma

We have a gorgeous 3 year old son called Zeb, but unfortunately since then have had 5 miscarriages. When we Are blessedwith a baby, it will be Teo Benjamin for a boy and Dharma Tashi for a girl 🙂
I think a good combination of C and M would be Camryn Maddox Powell. Cambree and Cadence are also cute C names. She will be very luck to join your family and no matter the name…she will be loved!
Personally, I would name this baby with a C only because it would only seem like a division. I know this is silly but with different fathers, I guess I wouldn’t want to have an ‘m’ team and a ‘c’ team. I hate that I even said that…its just what keeps coming to my mind so I figured I might as well say it out loud.
I vote you name her Lyric.
