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 had always thought I would have two children. As life would have it and unforseen circumstances I will not be having anymore children. I have a son but the name we had picked for a daughter is Bailee Amber. Always loved those names together and have never heard them together before. Bailee Amber Powell sounds adorable! 🙂
Shilo is one of my favorites. Shilo is a biblical name, a civil war battle and a song by Neil Diamond. Shilo means “Gods gift” which is very fitting considering all children are gifts. Shilo isn’t an extremely common name.
OMG I just saw someone else post the name Cadence Joy and I love that! Cadence definitely…so different!
Delancey
Selah
Cecily
For a baby name I like Calleigh. Best wishes to you & your family. 🙂
I think Teigan is a lovely name. I don’t go for the “starting all with the same letter” kind if stuff. Too forced for me. Each child us unique and deserves to have all names considered.
I also like Alexandra. 🙂
Good luck & Happy Baby to you!
Definitely a C name! Cadence or Cambree or what about named after daddy, Christian(you can girly it up with a diff spelling)?
Casey Leigh Powell
Charlotte ‘Charlie’ Elaine Powell
Chloe Marie Powell
Can’t wait to see baby girl Powell!

I had my 3rd daughter in July and her name is Lennon Paige. We love music and wanted something that was gender neutral like her older sisters names which are Camdyn Elizabeth and Grayson Michele. We have never heard Lennon used as a first name and wanted something that wasn’t crazy but not overused.
