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 really love the C idea so Cash doesn’t feel left out I have two boys and really wanted a little princess but that is not what God had planned for us but I love the names Clarissa, Cassidy, Claire and Chloe we were stuck on names too we are all J’s here whatever name you choose I know she will be a blessing to you and Chris. Ok one more Cadence that’s pretty too ( I couldn’t help myself)
Also, I always thought Cash’s “C” match was Daddy, so maybe you could name her an “H” name? Helena is beautiful…or Hala (Hay-la)… 🙂 -Just a thought. Blessings!

I think Hope Elizabeth Powell would be a great strong and beautiful name. Hope to go with what you bring to this world on this great journey of the amazing transformations your family does. Elizabeth since she is your queen and is a strong female role model. I think an H first name would be perfect to go with you Heidi since you are such an inspiration to moms and females everywhere! Congrats and best of luck on your precious bundle of joy!
I like the idea of a C name 🙂 I love the names Carina, Cassidy, and Camryn. I also love Carly, but that might be a little too rhyme-y with Marley. Congratulations and good luck choosing a name! Our youngest didn’t have a name until she was 36 hours old. :/ haha.
I dare to be different but I love simple names I absolutely love the name Stella, Brooke, Emma, Corinne, Cecilia!
Love the names Kiley, Ava and Katie. Maybe Ava Katherine Powell and call her Katie? Try not to stress too much! When you find the right name, you’ll know 🙂 God bless!
My suggestion is Alivia, it’s what I will name my daughter if I have one. Olivia was just too normal for me and I found this different spelling and love it.
Also have Calia, Grey, Hadley on my list
Alexandra, strong and proud
