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!!!!

My husband and I have 3 girls!! I know my poor husband lol. Anyways we always had a hard time coming up with names. All we knew is we wanted something different or spelled a different way. Our kids names are Antonina, Olivia, and Baylee. Some of the names I really like were Emma, Sophia, Emily. For a middle name we have went with family members names all of my girls either have a family members middle name or the first name. I think a cute name if you wanted another “C” name would be Cayla Elizabeth Powell.
Maybe once you see your little girl it will just come to you. 🙂 When we were picking out names for our baby girl these were the runners up. We ended up naming ours Liliana Grace. Here were the others we considered. Good Luck!!
Abriana Grace
Caitlyn Marie
Ps- our son still calls her baby sister or baby girl and she’s almost 7 months now lol
A “C” name would be cute. Some nice ones: Camdyn – it means “powerful”; Caroline – it means “strong melody, a song of joy”; or Claire – it means “bright, shining”. Or how about a name that starts with “H”, like her mommy? :)Of course, there is Haley – it means “hero” (which seems appropriate for your family!) :)or Hannah – “graceful, merciful”; “Harley” or “Holly”; or “Hope”. And back to “c” names – “Clara” was Heidi’s best friend in the book Heidi, so that would be a neat little choice. 🙂 best of luck to a great couple!!
How about Diana Katherine, after the royal princesses? What girl doesn’t want to be a princess?
I’ve always loved the name Raegan, Kennedy was our second option! Good luck (:
I think you should go with a name that has a special meaning e.g. Sarah means in hebrew “princess” 🙂 Take a deep breath and don`t be so worried about what the others are thinking 🙂 I am sure they will love your daughter with all their heart no matter what initial letter or famous eponym she has.
Cassandra Rose Powell
Cheryl Rose Powell
We loved the older names and wanted something similar for our three, yes three girls 🙂 We have Vivianne Rose, Jocelyn Marie(We call her Jocie), and our newest addition as of last month Evelyn Riley.
Not sure what your dad’s name was but maybe you can name her after him.
Hi, here’s a couple of names I thought would go with the flow, like Matix, and Marley… Cash and Cady, or Cash and Carli or Carlie.. but I also like Calista too 🙂 Good luck and Congratulations to you all.
