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 like the name “Caroline Madeline (Maddie) Powell.” Then you have a C and an M in there. She wouldn’t be named after a famous person but would have a good strong name. Or “Caroline Marie Powell”
I would say a “C” name too Chole, Claire or Candace or to be different Cherish, Cydney
Middle names Marie (that’s mine lol) but it goes with a lot of names
Cadence Rose Powell. I have always thought the name Cadence was very cute and it means Rhythmic. Or a middle name that means something to your family. I agree with Alecia, make it meaningful to your family 🙂 Although Delaney goes well with Cadence 🙂
We named our youngest Ciarra (pronounced Sierra) because we wanted a C name to match her dad :). Whatever name you choose will be perfect! Wishing the entire Powell Pack continued blessings and joy!!
I have always loved the name Charley for a girl. It is a little bit sweet and a little bit spunky. It can even be a endearment for Charlotte!
Catalina Mae Powell
A “C” for go with Cash. An “M” to go with Matix and Marley and the name (that I know of) does not come from a famous musician. Good luck in finding a name. 🙂
Carsyn, Carys,Cassidi, Camryn middle name Rose or Brynn Last name Powell 🙂
What are you guy’s middle names? The kids too? Make a combo name. 🙂 If it works.
Having unique names for your children, you should stay on that path. Unique isn’t taking a common name and spelling it weird. Personally I love my name, I still think my mother for giving it to me. You could give her a C NAME that is also a musician to tie everybody together.
Other suggestions :
Lelani-Strong, feminine, simple
Alexandra – Powerful, versital, elegant
Here are the girl names we wanted…but had a boy.
Reese
Carris
Mischa
Charli
Zoe
Good luck. I am so glad to see someone taking this serious. Children are mean and there is nothing worse than having a name given out of a lack of concern. I love your kiddos names…they are fun and creative. Have no worries…you will know when you see her.
Your love story is awesome…thanks for sharing it with us. You all are such a cute family. Comgrats on the addition.
