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 heard the name” CREE” on American Idol last year, and fell in love with it. Cash and Cree….both simple and sweet. Not sure what would go for a middle name with it…How about Cree Arabella?
I have always liked the name Christina, which starts with a C or you could use a K, Kristina. I think the name Addison is also nice, it seems like a strong name. Good luck and best wishes to all of you. Your show is great and very inspiring. I have 20 pounds to lose. I just received the book choose more, lose more. I am on my second week and have lost 6 1/2 pounds. I am not as good at doing the shapers every morning as I am on the food choices. Some days I really don’t feel like eating that much but I make myself because it really does seem to help. I walk/run 5 or 6 days a week and have been for quite a while now. Keep up the great work. You have saved so many lives and given hope to so many others. Thank you!!!!!
Sofia Karolina Powell. Like it my own name so want to share it with you. I have four Boys could not have any girls..so lacky you! hope you all the best for having a new baby <3 Greetings from Finland!
I see some unique names from my students. I have a Shali, Aysia, Kaylnn. When I was pregnant with my son they had told me he was a girl and I was excited to get to use my girls name; Amelia Grayce. But I have an Ethan instead! Good luck on your choice!
I always wanted a baby girl. I ended up having two precious boys. But, I always hoped i would have a little girl because of the name Cayenne. I think it is such an elegant name. I love it partly because porsche makes this name for a car. I just feel like it is everything a girl needs. It is strong elegant and doesn’t sound silly if your 5 or 50.
Cayenne Rose Powell 🙂
or you can always name her Shelby Lynn. Its an awesome name too. not just the car but steel magnoila with julia roberts was amazing!! Powerful! 🙂
I think a C name would be perfect so Cash doesn’t feel left out and a name that is not related to music would help Matix not feel left out either. Since the 3 oldest kids have unique names the new baby should as well. I personally love less commonly used names. So here are my C names for your new baby girl-
Carrington (means beautiful)
Carrigan
Carlin
Cambrie
Carsyn
Camryn
Candin
Camree
Courtlynn
Coley
Clancey
Carlisle
As for a middle name you could always go a little more traditional, if you choose a unique first name. Middle name suggestions-
Faith
Grace
Elise
Noelle
Rae
Marie
Elizabeth
Whatever name y’all choose will be perfect for your new little girl
Sage Lynn – Sage has many meanings, we thought of it like sage brush (her nickname), hardy, pretty, many uses and Lynn is my middle name
Sariah Marie – Sariah is the name Sara is derived from, it’s found in the scriptures and I fell in love with the name years ago. Marie is my mother’s middle name.
Denim Rose – Just something I thought up and liked the ring
Sonora Rayne – My husband and I are both from AZ and thus it fits for our family, wherever we may be.
Good luck. I hope something strikes you and I don’t mind sharing my children’s names 🙂
Last comment – should be Cadence Grace Powell – jeez!!!! Sorry about that!
My daughter’s name is Eesten (pronounced Easten). That would be okay if you chose that name!! Just sayin!!!
🙂
Victoria-
I say Cadence Grace Howell.
🙂

If you’re looking for an “M” name you could always use my name – Mandira Joy and then I guess Powell would be the last name
OR
IF I should ever have a girl I wanted to name her Amariah Leeann, somehow I think I will end up with all boys though. lol Feel free to use it, I think it’s so beautiful and I am completely obsessed with it, meaning is “Gift From God” which she most definitely is! Last name of course Powell…lol
