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 like the name Henslee Ann Powell. That is the name my daughter wants to name one of her children if she has a girl in the future. I am so in awe of you both, you are the most giving people I know. I am so happy for you. You are awesome parents!!!

I definitely hear you and understand your dilemma but when I think of you of your family, I see two C names, Chris & Cash, two M names, Matix & Marley but I only see one H name and that’s you Heidi, so to even it out, how fitting would it be to name your lil girl after an H name? I myself like taking tradition names and giving them a twist, so that are somewhat traditional but unique are is femine and classic, for an H name I would take the name Helen which was my grandmothers and turn it into Halenha, which is a versin if her names but speaks more to what I like. I have been thinking of a lot if middle names and I think my two favorites that go well with Halenha are Nicole and grace. Halenha Nicole Powell or Halenha Grace Powell, both names are beautiful will grow with her and are feminine but classic, good luck choosing your name and congrats to you and Chris both on the new addition to your beautiful family!
Ok, sorry but I’m gonna go way off track, I have been blessed with 2 little girls 2 & 5 weeks. Their names are Aisha Sariah Aakinihi and Kyrie Sharon Alyssa so if you like any of those I may be hearing from you 😉 good luck & congrats to the winner 🙂
Teagan, addyson, Madison, Harper….
My vote is Cadence – which still has the C like Cash and one of the meanings is rhythm
And a middle name beginning with M to connect her with her oldest brother
Mila or Mae
Thanks for always being such a bright positive influence -you guys are awesome. Blessings to your family
