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!!!!

Here some suggestions, Mathilda Alma Cecilia and Elin Ida Henrietta…
might be weird in english but for me they are very special, my twins middel namnes (who are born on 9/11-2001, 11 weeks premature). They are real fighters and Mathilda means strenght and Elin = bright shining…
And of course my youngest sweet girls name Signe Hilma Augusta she is a boundle of energy and lights up our lives with a smile that melts our hearts =) The name Signe means new victory and the blessed.
I hope everything goes well for you! =)
I think you should do another C name. How about Calista? 🙂

BRADLEY!!!!! My oldest daughter has a great friend named BRADLEY and at first I thought WHO names their GIRL Bradley then I saw her and now I absolutely LOVE it. She is so beautiful and the name is now my favorite!
I went to Chris’s rival school in Vancouver, WA, what a genuine person which is seen in his show and dedication to making other slices healthier! Congrats to your family and kiddos on what blessings you both are to people struggling with their weight and nutrition.
I’m biased and love my daughters name Henley James. I also love Noa, Evan and Scarlett. For middle names I love Lane. Evan Lane Powell you can call her Elle for short, her initials EL.
Good luck!
I have a nephew Cash and they had a beautiful baby girl who died of kidney disease the day she was born. Her name was Clara. I think its so cute and Cash and Clara could be a cute little pair!

She’ll have her own song…Sweet Caroline by Neil Diamond !
I wasn’t going to comment, but after reading some of these, I feel I must say something…. Some of these suggestions are just too off the wall, like the guy who wants you to name your baby after a baby who has downs and her father wanted to abort her because of his ego…the child’s name was Paisley. Or the name that sounds like a harlequin romance novel, Harley Quinn. Or God forbid… MCHAMMER!!! You can see from my name that my mother did me no justice naming me, so when I had my twin boys I wanted simple easy names. So my boys are Sam and Jess. If they would of been girls they would have been Samantha and Jessica. It is truly up to you what you name your child, but of course I have a suggestion….. Christina, and call her Christy, that is of course if your husband would allow you to use his name. My ex would not let me use either of his names, which now I am thankful for, they only have his last name to deal with. Hope this helps…. LOL
