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!!!!

So I like the idea of since you have 2 M’s to go with a C. My daughter’s name is Charlena. She was named after her great grandfather Charles, it is the female form of that name. There was a song back in the 50’s with that name too, you can youtube it.
If you like nicknames, we called her Charlie when she was little.
I don’t have any specific name in mind, but how about going with a family name? For example, I was named after my paternal great-grandmother and my middle name is the same as my mom and maternal grandmother. If I had children, I would have found one of those classic family names that have kind of gone out of use such as Helen or Jeanne or Barbara. With most of the “antique” names, they can have a modern twist with a nickname.
We did all J names in our family. When we found out we were having twins the second time, we had to think of 4 different J names (for boys and girls) and the one that we ended up not using was Jasmine. It’s a very girly name! If your going for a C name though, I love Carly and Chandler for girl names! Good luck and I hope everything goes as planned for you and baby! Congratulations!
Mia and Olivia are my two favorite girl names right now, but if your wanting a name that starts with a “C” I love Chloe too 🙂 Good Luck!
I think you should name her Charlotte it is a beautiful name and not heard of much

My husband and I struggled with this as well. We did decide if it was a boy he have his middle name and a girl would have my middle name. Two days before she was born we decided on Cheyanne Lee(my middle name) so my suggestion would be Cheyanne ?(your middle name) Powell. When we had our second daughter my oldest was 6 so we wanted to let her have an important role so we let her pick the middle name. Her sisters name is Peyton Miley which flowed perfectly 🙂 good luck with your name choice!
I think Charlie for a girls name is SUPER cute!!
Or how about a name that combines both of your Grandmothers names. I almost named my daughter MariAnna after my Grandmas Mary and Anna!
Good Luck! She will be a lucky and beautiful baby girl!!
We are expecting a little girl in November and naming her Mikinli 🙂 Wouldn’t mind at all if you steal the idea! Another choice we had before I decided on Mikinli was Stella 🙂
Good luck!!!
Well I chose my daughter’s name after my husband and my mom’s name with a little creativity added in. Example: NorahAyne (Norah was his mom & Anne was my adopted mom’s name). So, why not pick two people who mean the world to you & Chris and combine it into something fun!!! This is especially meaningful to us since my mom died of cancer and his mom suffers from mental illness. And since she was the only baby girl we are blessed with, my other two are boys, it was the perfect choice.
