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!!!!

Hi,
I am in agreement with some of the other suggestions to go with the ‘H” maybe Hannah or Hope and a “C” middle name Hannah Christina or Hope Carra. Best to you and Chris, you are both inspirations to so many.
What about a “H” name? You have Marley and Matix, Cash and hubby Chris what about you and baby girl share the “H”? Was thinking a different and unique name..
Hanan *Ha-nin” or “Ha-nen” : the name means Mercy. … so maybe full name
Hanan Phoenix Powell .
I know a lil different but I think its pretty and meaning behind it…you both share letter H, middle name shout out to arizona…just my thought…good luck with the name search!
I like the name Charley for a girl. Best of luck to you and your family. You guys are great and help out a lot.
Not to be partial, but I’ve always liked my name Melanie and love my Moms name Violet. My last name use to be Powell. Full name Melanie Rose Powell :). You could make Violet’s middle Violet Marie Powell.
Leilani Mariah Powell (Lani for short)
I have always loved my grandmothers name : Tessie Marie
I love Harmony Grace Powell
Cadence, Calleigh, Carrie, Colleen, Cara.
Wow! I can’t believe you’re going to read all of those responses, but if you should read all 465 and reach mine, I hope you settle on “my” name… well, it is actually my daughter’s name and I can’t believe I’m even going to suggest it for you to use because I chose it because I like my children to have unique names. I think you should name her Cambri Marie Powell!
Sadie Marie Powell
