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!!!!

It took my ex and I months to decided on a name for our son, finally the name Dylan just felt right. You have to make it meaningful to you guys, on that note though I have a suggestion. Try mixing some of your favorite names. For instance my cousin has been truely inspirational in my life and so has my mom, if I have a daughter I want to name her KateLynn, a combination of their two names. I’ve also considered Paulynn as a nod to both my mom and her maiden name.
In society today there are few conventions on names. Try each one out and have fun with it. It would be cute to give her a C name not of a musician to keep with the current themes, but you don’t have to.
A few names I love is Adrienne Belle, Autumn Rayne, and Skylit. Hope you can decide on the perfect name soon!
Quinn, Zia, Caydence.
Cherish, Cammi, Clara
Go with a C name. It gives the younger two a distinction from the older two. Something they can both share. I like Calleigh or Chloe.
Arissa Jeanette Powell – I’ve always liked Arissa Jeannette for as long as I can remember and since we have had 2 boys, I have not been able to add that name to our family. Good luck and plenty of well wishes!
I really love the name Julia. Or Julianna , so pretty . Also, Christina is nice too. Good Luck !
A C name would be ideal. How about Charlotte. You can call her Charlie
I have 3 daughters and I always get so many compliments on their names: Daisy Rae ,Faith Alexis and Skylar Marie…also cash has chris those are c’s you are left out so maybe an H name after mom. Hailey or Hanna..Best of luck too both of you .My whole family loves you guys 😀
My daughter’s name is Kinsey. Unique and cute, we got it from a book series (Sue Grafton) I also liked the name Kiley. I guess I like K names!
