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 really love different names, as I have one and have always loved it. No its not short for anything, LOL. I also don’t have a middle name. My children are Lindsay Anna & Savannah Lynn. I saw someone used Cadence but what about:
Callie Powell
Carson Powell
Cara Lyn Powell
Keeping with the C theme I would suggest Casten or Charleigh. Casten can sometimes be found spelled with a K. Casten Heidee Powell. Heidee of course after you with a twist on the spelling!
Zoe Grace
Oops I forgot a middle name. Cinnamon Maliyah Powell or Cilver Marie Powell. Congrars on having a girl.
I come up with 4 Caelee , Calla , Calleigh ,Cheyenne the Cheyenne is Native American and Cheyanne is American good luck.
My daughter is Kylee Nicole and my son is Skyler (Skylar) is girl spelling 🙂
Shanae, Jenae, Krystal, Ashlyn, Corrie, Lucy were some of our other choices. Good luck
I think Cadence would be a great “C” name. But I always loved the old fashioned name of Stella. Congratulations, I know she will be beautiful just like your other children.
I like the name Carter for a little girl 🙂
When I was pregnant with my youngest and picking out names the girl name I loved was Adeline Grace. Adeline is my grandmas middle name. I ended up having a little boy so didn’t get to use that name. I think Adeline Grace Powell sounds beautiful.
Cena (See-na) Powell. For a middle name…I am guessing something familial would be better for you guys. But- yes, I like the idea of 2 M’s and 2 C’s. Its funnt- cause my first thought was Cadence- and then I saw several people had thought of that. You could always name her June- staying with the Cash theme? Good luck you guys! You are both amazing and giving himan beings! You deserve all the blessings!
