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!!!!

You need an H name to go with Heidi. You’ve got the M’s and the C’s covered. I like Harlow Katherine Powell.
I think a good name is Corrinne. It’s an old name but a solid name.
Both of my boys have E names but I didn’t do that with my two girls. My oldest is Alilyana.. Lily for short..I liked that name for the different amount of nicknames she could have. My youngest is Kimber because she was my favorite Jem And the Hologram lol. I liked more unique names for my girls as Ethan and Evan are pretty normal names… I do call the boys each others names sometimes I think due to the e’s. Other girls names I like are kendra, Melany, Kali, and Quinn but I think it would be awesome if you had a Kimber or alilyana .. :):):)
Laykin
You should name her Carrie. That way you have Cash and Carr(y)ie. LOL
Zoe Christina Powell
I have one son but if I would have had a daughter I would have named her Zoe, my son is Zachary, so I love the name.
Good Luck and by the way you look amazing.
Well if you choose a C, my opinion is Cayslynn Grace.. But I really like the idea of an H since you do have two M’s and two C’s . So my opinion once again would be Haylynn Maddison Powell. Good luck on choosing and have a safe delivery! God bless you and your family ! Because you all truly bless lives of so many!
I love the name Olivia but if I had a girl instead of a boy this last time I was going to name her Josie after my grandmother Josephine.
Abigail Rose Powell. We had a little girl who was born sleeping during my 23rd week back in 2002. We picked that name because my husband is a huge Beatles fan and loves the album Abbey Road. We always tell our son, who is 9, he has a sister in heaven named Abby Rose.
I think Charisma is the best name for your new little edition. She will fit in perfectly!
