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 think baby #4 should have their own name to where its not brought up about cash and is with a C and not the others, I love Blake, Harper, Bristol, and i have one other odd one Lynlee, and Pearl. I def like strong names for girls and that are different. I think its the way to go since all are different names and not common.Good Luck!
Wow there are some great suggestions on here. I love the idea of choosing a “H” name since Cash and Chris are both C’s and Matix and Marley are M’s. If I had had a girl, I was going to name her Hailey or Harley. However… I do love the name Emma. Its cute but as she gets older, its distinctive, powerful and confident but loving. How about Harley Emma Grace Powell but call her Emma? Or you could do with Penny (to team up with Cash) Penny is cute. Penny Grace Powell. Hmmmm….. love you guys! all the best Hugs from Canada.
I’m reading the other kids names and all I can really think that sounds great is Claire!
Matix, Marley, Cash, and Claire!
We created a list but never shared our names with anyone as we kept her gender a secret as well. We named our sweet girl Gemma. Pronounced like “Jem-ah”. Meaning precious jewel. It is rare name and she is a precious gem to us. I don’t think you have to keep with the “M’s” or “C’s”. Choose something that you love and connect with. I was completely stressed out with this decision too but love the name we chose. Others I liked were Ava, Krista, and Isabella Good luck and congratulations!
I think you should name your new baby girl Carina.It means Little darling.My child is grown up,but we have 5 dogs (Jenna,Jasper,Jasmine,Dakota and Duke.So stay with your C’s and M’s!
Just some ideas with great meanings:
Caitlin – means pure
Caleigh – means slender
Calista – means most beautiful
Carin – also means pure
Carlyn – little champion
Cherie – darling
Chryssa – means golden flower and close to Daddy’s name?
Cara Nicole Powell
I say it should start with a C…. Then you will have Matix Marley Cash and Carlie
I have a Kendall and a Cayla
Lara 🙂
