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!!!!

Hi! I do think that the baby should have a name starting with a C, and not a famous name.
Cadence, Corinne, Caylee, Catie, Caylin, Caitlin, Cael (I love this one, and it fits with your unique kids’ names), Calla, Cambria, Christine.
There are so many great names for you. Here is a site to help you. Just browse through the pages at the bottom below the names.

I love girl Names, I named my first daughter Gracey, Sage. Then we were also blessed with another Beauty, Willow Shayne. I’m done with our baby journey but I absolutely LovE the name Saylor. There’s just something about it that makes me think if a free spirt, strong willed, and a peace that it feel when I feel that name! But I’m sure you and Chris will decide a beautiful name that will fit just right for your new beauty! Congrats to you both and the best of luck, in your future!!
Cline Powell. You have one for Johnny Cash, now one for Patsy Cline.
Throwing in my suggestion: Ainsley (means my meadow) Elise.
Do not go with a M name. My siblings all start with L but mine was with a G. I always felt a little left out.
Catherine (Cate, Catie, ect)
Cambryn
Jordan Tate Powell!
That is my first and middle name but I go by Tate! It’s unique but I love it and get compliments from people all the time. Your baby girl is going to be so beautiful 😉
I also like the “H” idea. I like the name Haven. Haven means “a place of safety.” After reading about you exercising through your pregnancy, it made me think that you created a place of safety for your baby by keeping your body in shape. She will also be brought into a home where she will be kept safe. Maybe something like Haven Arizona Powell or Haven Chea Powell. I know Chea is very different, but it has a Cambodian origin meaning “healthy.”
Crystil
Saharah
I have no idea why I came up with this name it just popped into my head. How about Autumn Marie. No matter what you name her she will be strong in mind and spirit. I sure she will have her mom’s beautiful looks and dad’s killer smile. Congrats, and looking forward to your new episodes.
As an OB nurse, I see all kinds of names. I would stay away from all of the Payton’s, Hayden’s, Cayden’s . . . See what I mean? And not Neveah. It’s not original any more! We nurses love the older classic names that are coming back. Claire, Grace, Ava, Lilly.
