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!!!!

congratulations. baby girls are amazing. love my little boys, but having a little girl to run the show is seriously the best 🙂
Name suggestions:
Avani
Avalanna
Addison
Callyn Mae (pronounced like allen with a c)
Emmalyn (call her emmy)
Ellyson Reese (call her elly)
Those are names Ive always loved 🙂
Just go with what you like, and dont worry what people will think; even your kids. They probably wont think about the musician thing a lot, but the letter it begins with might make them think a little bit more. I do think continuing the trend of 2 M’s and then 2 C’s would be cute, but that is up to you…if you find something you like, dont let it limit you 🙂 Just dont name her Cher.
I love the name Sophia like the model Sofia Loren. Plus you can call her Sophie which is equally as cute.
Kelsey Anne ,Kelsey Marie
Carly, Carley, Carlee or Carleigh..sounds good with Marley. Matix, Marley, Cash and Carley
Rylin, Reese, or Tatum. They all sound good with the Powell last name too! :o)
I think you just need to find a name that speaks to you, that means something to you. Don’t worry about the letters! 🙂 You can always choose a first name with a C and a second name that would refer to a musician!
I personnaly like Cailey, Celia, Chloe, Madeleine, Mavis….
Definitely a “C”. Christina Marie is a good one, but just doesn’t fit with your other children’s unique names even though it has your first name in it, Chris. Good luck for your upcoming arrival of your baby and I’m sure you will pick a great name for her! 🙂
