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!!!!

Two names I have seen lately that are unique and both start with H. Holland and Haven.
I love the name Averie for a girl. : )
I love my son’s name, Kason, because it is unique but not weird. I loved the girl spelling of Caysen for a girl. Love, Love, Love it and it would sound good with Cash 🙂 Cash & Caysen. Good luck with the tough decision!
My mother had a girl name picked out for me had I been born a girl and it was Ciji (pronounced C.G.) There is your “C” name Ciji Aryn Powell has a nice ring to it.
I am in love with the name Caprica. If I wasn’t done having kids, I would name a girl Caprica Amalie (ah-mu-lee).
What about Havery Grace?
Chloe Denae Powell … Chloe and Cash sound cute together
My daughters are Donell, Serenity, Sonnet, Desiree, Breanna & MacKenzie. I think Sonnet Powell would be nice.
Sonnet was named for my favorite Sonnet “how do i love thee, let me count the ways “. She is my love poem & the daughter who introduced us to Chris’s show. Fitting her middle name is KRISTEN .
First thing that came to mind was Christie, but that could get confusing if you were to shorten it as a nickname to Chris. My second thought was this: Courtney Leigh Powell, it just has a nice ring to it, and both names belong to two or my best friends. 🙂
