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!!!!

You should stick with a “C”
Callista, Celeste, and or Caitlyn
Definitely steer clear of musician names.
I like the name Morgan Elizabeth Powell. To me, this name exudes sweetness, character, intelligence, and independence. It is the name I would have used had I had a girl. It can mesh well with your “M” theme you have going on, and you can boast to Cash that his name starts with a “C”, just like Chris! Then, he will have that to hold on to as special 🙂
I like Ciara Marie Powell, it’s C and M 🙂
Madalynn Hope Powell is my name suggestion. Madelynn means “tower”. Hope means (well we know the importance of having it) to have trust and faith. Tower of strength with hope, trust and faith. My opinion, this is the true meaning of a personal transformer specialists, such as her parents! Good Luck and Much Love to you and your family!
Charlee (Charlie)
Chancy
Charlet
Caylynn
Caitlynn
the name will be Evangeline Powell.
what do you think of Lyla Hope Powell?
This was my moms name I lost her to cancer on 8/30/13 to cancer. I can not have any kids. It would be an honor as she loved Chris’s show!!
Caitlyn Elizabeth Powell sounds nice to me 🙂
