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!!!!

what about Faith, Hope , or Charity for the C 🙂
Cenzie or carlee 🙂 to go along with cash!
I think you should keep the C….I like the name Cadence Samantha Powell:-)…good luck!..picking out your childs name is definitely hard…You’ve done good so far I like all of your kids names:-)
I would go with a C name I think its cute here are some suggestions
Chrissy Nicole Powell ,Crystal Lynn Powell, Cynthina Marie Powell .
Baby name picking is awfully hard! I had a hard time picking my son’s name and finally did, Dominic Kai. I think that picking a c name to “balance” your kiddos names is a pretty good idea.
Caeleigh/caelee is a very cute name for a girl and there isn’t much you can tease about that. Or even Caitlyn.
Good luck! You’ll choose an amazing name
For my husband and I naming our daughter came easy. Sorry 🙁 We talked about a couple names we liked and decided on Maia Emily 🙂 We chose to spell it Maia vs Maya because she is named after a character on a show my husband and I used to watch. We didn’t have anything in particular that needed to be “met” – like we didn’t care about how many letters, or if it started with a certain letter, things like that. You will just know when the name is right 🙂
I would go with a C name. I love Cadence, Carys, and Chiara.
I don’t think her name has to start with a C, just not another M 🙂 I have two suggestions: Brielle Ava or Sadie Brynn. Good luck in choosing a name 🙂
I fell in love with the name MaCollin for a baby girl after my boyfriend randomly made it up! It will definitely be the name of our first baby girl! It would also work for you guys because it has the M and the C in it! It is also a very unique name! For a middle name you could go with a name that starts with a C to help Cash not to feel left out! So my full (yet partial) name suggestion would be MaCollin C____ Powell!
Harper, Cameron, or Audra, of course 🙂
