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!!!!

Mine is Aniston Kathleen.
My daughter’s name is Laurel. It was my grandmother’s name. I liked it because when she was born there were a ton of Tiffany, Britney and Emma babies being born. Although she didn’t like it when she was 10 because it was different, she loves it now at 21 for the same reason she used to hate it
My vote is for Camila Powell! Nickname Mila is sooooo cute.
I also really like Kiera, Avery, and Peyton but they don’t really fit in your trend you have going on.
Maya Tanya Powell 🙂
I just love the name Tenley June 🙂 Always wanted a girl but I have three boys 🙂
Maelyn Jane Powell has a nice ring to it 🙂
Cadence/Caydence or Calista?
Cadance
I’ve seen it spelled Cadence however I like the spelling with the “a” because the word dance is in it 🙂
I hope the rest of your pregnancy go perfectly

Well, MMC in Roman numerals is 2100. X is ten, V is five, L is fifty, C is one hundred. What do you want the numbers to be?
Of course, you could go completely random and convert another name to make it your own. I’ve always wanted a daughter named after me. My name’s Jeremy, but I would play with it and spell it Jaramie.
I love the name Lilly <3
