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 just had a baby this Summer at 40 years old. I had a Boy but if I would have had a girl I would have named her Lily. I love that name.
Campbell as in Glen Campbell. It would be keeping with the music theme and a cute nickname could be bella…
Chyler (pronounced the same as Kyler)
Charlotte (Charlie for short and sporty!)
I’m going to be induces November 4 and my sons name is Callen. My husband and I came up with his name but picking and deconstructing names of people we love! My husband and his dad both share the same middle name Allan, then I have an uncle and grandfather that share the name Calvin. Presto change’o you get Callen with an E to have a little of his own flare! Be creative! I know you guys have it in you! Now I just have to lose a ton of weight after I have my son!
I happen to be pretty partial to the name Chiray — pronounced sure + ray — b/c it happens to be my name! LOL!
BUT it does seem to fit your requirements of not being music-related and starting with a ‘C’.
I have also seen it spelled Cherae.
🙂
Ho Heidi I wanted to share 2 favorite names of mine they would be my choices if I was having a girl. I really like the name Caroline it just sounds so innocent and pure, and the name Nova which I think is fitting because all babys are little stars that are given to us to care for Nova means the birth of a star
I think Clohe Marie!
