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!!!!

Joy! That’s my middle name and it is my name for a reason I was adopted and my parents said that my middle name is joy because of how much joy I have brought them
I like the ‘H’ name idea – I love the name Harding, it means hard working/strong.
i just recently had a little girl, and we had a hard time choosing her middle name. her first name had already been chosen but we had to choose between two middle names. We decided on Cali Page. She is named after the state of California (Cali) and Bettie Page (Page). We couldn’t decide between Monroe and Page for her middle name. But i think that Cali Monroe Powell would fit nicely in your little pack. Than you would have another C name, so Cash wouldn’t feel left out, if it ever came to that. And she would be named after a famous singer, but not the first name, the middle name, so Matix wouldn’t be left out.
We went with Emma and Adeline(Em and Addie for short) for our girls. I like the older names. Maybe look at your grandparents or great grandparents names. Feel free to use either.
I think the name Faith would be very appropriate for your little girl. You both have so much faith in others so I’m sure that inner strength and kindness will shine through your little angel as well.
I think Clara is a beautiful name and wouldn’t leave Cash or Matix out! 🙂 Good luck with your decision! I never realized how difficult a decision it was until we had our first!
Defiantly agreeing with several people in regards to a name beginning with “H”
Harper
Hope
Hallie/Haile
Hadley
Harlow
Your family is beautiful! Many Blessings. .
Since you already have two M names and two C names in the Powell pack. I think you need another H name.
Heaven Lee Powell

I think you should go with a “C” name since the other 2 children are “m” names you don’t want to leave Cash out… personally I love the name Ciara Jade Powell or Catalina Nicole Powell.. I like names that aren’t your every day names, I named a friends daughter when she couldn’t decide on an L name she liked… so I suggested Leiloni Marie.. All of your other children have unusual names so keep in line with that and try not to pick a generic name for your newest little angel.. congrats and cant wait to see her! luv the show ..
