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!!!!

My daughters are Jillian, and Noelle which I love..but another couple names I have recently heard were Luca and Monet which I think are adorable but not names you hear all the time..good luck! Finding the perfect name is sometimes the most stressful part!
Caylynn Marie Powell, Melina Christine Powell both names cover both C and M names 🙂 good luck in choosing
I’m going to agree, you need a C name. So I like Chanel. I’ve seen Paris featured on Extreme Weight Loss this past year, so I think a French name is fitting. For a middle name I think you should choose the name of a family member. Chanel Powell. I like it :)Hope you do too! Congrats!!
I definitely think you should go with a “C” name. Callie Nicole, Carlie Marie, Chloe Rae….just some suggestions 🙂

Pronounced Calee * *
I’ve always loved the name Cordelia. Origin of Cordelia: Latin; Celtic
Meaning of Cordelia: “heart; daughter of the sea”
Cordelia is a moon of Uranus.
2758 Cordelia, an asteroid, named after the Shakespearean character.
There is a genus of butterflies named Cordelia.
I also like the name Charisma or Carissima comes from the meaning a ‘God-Given divine gift or talent’ it is also a word given to someone who has an endearing personality.
Heidi, I love all of the work you and Chris do! You inspire me to be a motivated woman and fit mother (someday). I literally LOVE reading your blog, seeing your instagram photos, and watching EWL! I’m hooked on your adorable family, and your stories. I have always loved the name Scarlett. Not only does red represent love and the heart, but I feel like the color red is a powerful color. A young girl these days needs confidence, to feel empowered, and to be loved by an amazing family. You will be able to give her all those things! Best wishes to you, Chris, and the kids!
I say go for a C name. I like Cree, I heard it a long time ago but have no clue if it has a meaning. And the other three children have unusual names, so this will fit in.
I think you should name your babygirl Cristina, it is realy beautiful name.. 🙂
