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 agree with many others that it should be an H name. You already have 2-Cs. I really like Harper, Haylee, And Hilary! I personally love the name Brittan(pronounced bright-ann) if I ever have a girl that will be her name but. You should go with an H!!!

I think P names with the last name Powell would be great. Such as Paige or Peyton.
Aila means from a strong place.
My two favorite girl names have been Jade and Megan.
I too had the same delima. I just had a baby girl born Sept 17th…there were so many names that were thrown at me …yet nothing appealed to me…there was on name that I loved “Bay”. SO MANY people came me a stink face when I told them and always had something to say…So because of that I gave my daughter Bay as a middle name….I didn’t comfirm her name to.any one till she was born..so I will suggest her name Mila Bay.
I have 4 boys and one girl. I chose names that could not be shortened. When pregnant with my daughter I was told that she had a neural tube defect ( Spina Bifida). I was given the choice of whether to terminate or not. Of course I chose not.. She was born full term and perfectly healthy. I named her Zoe. It is Greek for “Eve” and means ” The gift of life”. That’s what you are doing.. giving the gift of life.
