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!!!!

Vivian Lee or Cecilia Maeve.
Caroline Heidi or Heather Powell 🙂
We have 3 girls McKayla, Gabrielle (Gabbi) and Kourtnie I would only suggest that you be careful sometimes they live up to their name ie: Gabbi talks ALOT….
Another names I thought of to go along with the “h” since so you won’t be singled out is
Hadley hope Powell <– this one my fav
(pronounced like Haley)
Hunter Lea Powell
Ok so you have
Cash&Chris
Matix&Marley
Heidi&new baby name with a H
It evens out all letters
2 of each
So H names could be:
Haylee/Haylie
Haleigh/Halley
Hayden
Hope
Hadley
Hattie
Hunter
OR
if you name the girls with M names and boys with C, then that way if you have any more boys, Cash isn’t left out.
Some M names could be:
Maddie
Maisy/Maizy
Mallory
Mavis
Makayla
Mackenzie (Mack) for short
Makenna
I really am into unique spellings of names and I see you are too with Matix, which is genius
But anyways those are a few of my ideas 🙂
And never let anyone talk you out of a name. I loved Hayden for my son but no one else in my family did so I went with Zachary. I worry all the time if I picked the right one. Just pick something that YOU love and has meaning to you and Chris. L
I agree with the fact that you need an H- and the one that said Harley! Goes great with the other names! Congrats! We have 2 boys, Zachary and Nathan, no rhyme or reason, but they both happened to be our “trainers” at the time of finding out each. So sentimental I guess! Didn’t get to try for a girl… :(( but LOVE my boys and nieces!!!
So I posted this on your fb too, but hey never hurts to actually follow directions right? I suggest Lenix or Lenox to match Matix and its just really cute, bonus Lenix Powell is a really strong name!!!
I think Isabella Constance Powell would be a lovely, strong name.
Gianna, Gillian,Teagan, Leona, Caliope (Cali), Graysen, Chloe, Calista, Caoimhe (Gaelic pronounced Keeva), Christina is always beautiful, Carrigan, Chace, Isla
Good luck!
