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!!!!

How about an ‘H’ name? Heidi, you are the only H! 😉
Okay, that’s all I’ve got right now, but I’ll keep thinking lol!
I think the name needs to start with a ‘C’ and not be related to a musician’s name. It needs to be unique – not a common name. Carisma Faythe is the only name popping in my head right now. Good luck choosing a name (:
Narae is my first choice. It’s lovely 🙂 and it goes week with some conventional middle names like Narae Katherine or Narae Michelle, if you have s family name to throw in there.
My mom’s name is Stella and it is starting to come back (she is almost 80). I have five boys, so I never had the opportunity for a girl name. Sometimes you just have to see the beautiful bundle to know what fits them. What do your other kids think?
Well…I’m totally going off the trail with this one…but we need more “Amity’s” in the world. It means friendship. I’m always complimented on my name and I’m proud to have it! But if that doesn’t work, I’d go with a “C” name. Maybe Chloe, Cadence, Camdyn. Blessings to you and your family!
What about Sophia Marie Powell
I like the following names Autumn, Christina, Christiana, Lillyana, Nevaeh (Heaven), Julliana.
Hello Heidi and Family (#powellpack)
Friendly Greetings from South Africa.
My suggestion is: Charlotte Olivia Powell.
Best of luck and everything of the best for the arrival of your beautiful baby girl.
Take care,
Christin

Whatever name you two choose it will be the perfect one, after all you will be saying it a million times… My daughter Miranda asked me to give her a list of about eight ancestors to choose from … she chose Kessiah (middle name Maelynn after her sister)
After our ancestor Kessiah Powell born 1838
Only you and Chris should make your choices.
I just heard this name from a friend who is Canadian and his granddaughter has the cutest name; Clover. I am not sure why I love the name it is different and unusual.
