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!!!!

Don’t read too much into it! If the baby’s name starts with an “M”, maybe that will make Cash feel special 🙂 My vote for a girl is Marissa (Monika is her middle name). It is my daughter’s name. It is pretty but not super common and yet not unusual! Perfect!
I had two boys, but my girl names were going to be either Annaleigh Grace or Jordan Avery. Feel free to use them!
You should go with an H name – that way, there are 2 Ms, 2 Cs, and 2Hs 🙂
My niece’s name is Caitlin…she’s a beautiful girl..I know you also will have a beautiful girl 🙂
Lola grace or Anna grace or zander if its a boy or Levi
Selah! (Say-la) Means to pause and reflect! Found in Psalms of the Bible!
Analiese, which means “Graced with God’s bounty” 🙂

The names we all chose for our children had special meanings that touched us in a special way!! And I loved names that weren’t common!!
Though our poor son was one of the most common names around..but the only one we could both agree on 🙂
When I think of you and Chris and the work that you do I think a perfect name to consider would be the name I chose for my youngest!!
Her name is Aislynn, pronounced (Azlin) and the reason I suggest it is because you inspire people and you help them achieve their dreams and visions of what they have in mind for their lives and health and that is exactly what Aislynn means!!
Aislynn= Dream, vision or inspiration!!
And I would definitely say you inspire many to reach their dreams!!
Anyhow, that’s my two cents..good luck and happy choosing!! 🙂
My name is Klaudia (Claudia) 🙂
