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’ve always loved the name Enslie.
I am suggesting Lakyn 🙂 I’ve loved the name every day for the 8 years my beautiful little princess has owned it 🙂
Kaylee Powell. I love the name and i dont think (so far) that i can use it, in my country(Chile) it would sound too american lol. But i seriously love the name. All the best guys
I typically pick names from the rolling credits of movies or television shows and have found with two of my children; this method was more successful on the Spanish networks! My first (son) is Christian Alexander, my second (daughter) is Adryana Marie Angelique, and my third (daughter) was simply named from a surf brand on my husbands shorts (kirra) but we changed spelling to Keira Alysson.
With all that said you can find some unique and awesome names from rolling credits 🙂
My girls suggestions are Callie, eliana, Ellie, eiselie, -the following are musicians, Alicia (pink’s real name), alanis, cass, Gillian, Macy (gray), Mariah, Norah, tori.
Hope it gives you a starting point!
What about Sharlie Powell?
Kelly 😛
Emy
Spencer

I would definitely go with a “C” name! Here are some cute suggestions:
Corinne (Coco)
Calysta (Means most beautiful)
Cruz
Cici (See-See)
Cleo
Cora
Good luck and congrats! 🙂
I’m a little biased but what about Chastity Faith Powell it would have the meaning of pure faith which is what we could all use rather it’s in God or our selfs the ability to coquer challenges always take pure faith by te way people usually call me chase
