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 think a beautiful name would be Ava Jane Powell or Avelina Jane Powell
Congrats! My suggestions are Cassie Cross Powell, Harley Madison Powell, Or Carissa Pearl Powell. Good luck. God Bless you and your growing family.
Give baby #4 a unique name like Matix!! Personally I love unique names!! Here are some ideas
Lakyn
Emersyn
Kynsler
Madilynne
Chyler
Hope this helps!!!
Definitely should to be a C name and not related to a famous musician. Carleigh (carly), Cora , Carter, Christine or Christina (after Chris). Just some ideas:)
You could name her Charlotte Lee (Leigh) and call her Charley or Charlie and then that way you have the C name with Cash and Charlie Pride is another big country music person so you have 2 country singers with the letter C or you could do. Plus you have Charlotte’s Webb which is such a cute childrens book. I am sure there is a musicians name with Matix 🙂
I have always loved the name Chloe, but didn’t name my daughters that because all my kids have vowel names. We ended up naming them Olivia and Elliana. Good luck with finding a name. I think it is one of the hardest parts of having kids;)
Katherine/Catherine means pure
There’s a star named Eta Carinae. It’s a beautiful name, I would just lose the Eta, and call her Carinae. Carinae Faith. Because faith is a powerful tool to help anyone in a circumstance believe he or she can do whatever they put their mind to, & also because Faith is my middle name! 🙂 Good luck!
ELEONORE.
elegant. lovely. delicate. important and chic. and also nice and …ELEONORE.
I think calleigh Powell would be a beautiful and strong name for your daughter.
