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 love Windsor, but I think it shoul be an “H” name so you have 2 M’s, 2C’s, and 2 H’s.
My favorite “H” name is Harper.
Name her Danique! Our daughter is ? strong little girl and very beautiful. She’s special because she was Born with ? spina bifida. She’s always happy and very sweet. I wish for you to have ? sweet girl like her!
I say her name should be JOY! You both are such incredible people and bring so much Joy back into people’s lives by helping them to transform themselves. JOY is totally appropriate and different
Caroline McCartney Powell.
Caroline is feminine and begins with a C, it’s classic and you can always say it’s after “Sweet Caroline” (Neil Diamond’s song) and McCartney is of course, self explanatory. 🙂
how about Cassidy , starts with a C or since Daddy’s name starts with a C why not Hillary or Heather starts with an H like mommys name 2C’s,2 M’s abd than 2 H’s which the H names are both females in the Powell Household .Good Luck and Congratulations
Definitely go with a C name!
I just had a lil gal 3 months ago & we named her Chapel Elise. I always get compliments! Another pretty, yet different C name is Caris which means Love! Caris Powell sounds very pretty. Marley, Matix, Cash, & Caris! Good luck choosing!
