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 a C, no musician.
If you go with a C, Caitlin. It means pure & Heidi means nobility. Pure & noble has a nice ring to it. 🙂
I have a few names that I like. For a girl, I really like the names Anais, (pronounced Ana-ees), Harper, Isla and Alessia. I think that they are cute and classy names.My daughter is named Serena Cheyenne and I didn’t name her until right before she was born. We then chose not to tell anyone what her name was until after her birth.
Hey! I would make it a C name no relation to famous people BC I would def feel left out if I were Matix. What is Matix`s middle ?
Due to being grossly obese I had to have a hysterectomy because of having uterine cancer, I was 29 when diagnosed and 30 when I had the surgery. I had always wanted my girl’s name to be Evelyn Kaye, Evie as her nickname. Evelyn Kaye Powell has a good ring to it.
I love the name Hadli, and I think she should have your middle name. That way she will have the same initials as you. (at least until she gets married)
I would def pick a c name for a musician my kids have the nature theme going once you start you just cant stop! lol mine are Storm, canyon, and holly. for our 3 young’uns.!
I think it should start with a C or have a C in the name. That way Cash isn’t left out. I have four boys all of them have a K in their names.. Christine is nice. Best of luck on your name choice. When the moment comes you will know rhe right name.
For some reason I think a “C” name is the way to go! I love Cecilia Powell or Camden Powell (use a family name if you have a nice one for the middle to make it special!) Cannot wait to see this little girl! My husband and I just got married (2 weeks ago!) and I am already starting to pray for a little girl since he has ALL boys in his family! haha good luck!
xoxo Jess
I just love the name: Everly Rose
I think it is so “musical” sounding and so different. We had this name picked
out for a possible girl, but we had a boy last month: Landon!
Good luck!! Love you guys and your beautiful family!! Continue to feel great!!!
What about Charlee? Or Charlotte and Charlee as a nickname? Or is that too cute because it rhymes with Marley? LOL I’m with you. Too many things to consider. So many decisions!! Carissa is cute. Kinda sorta like “Chris” but not so obvious like “Christine”. Best of health & happiness to you and your beautiful family!
