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!!!!

Congratiolations with your pregnancy, and i have to say i admire that you are able to stay in shape as wel as you do. I have always loved the name Isabelle for a girl, unfortunatly i will never use it i would give birth to a baby girl because it is to simmilar to my own name. I like the name because it is a name that sounds good in every language. And for short you can use both Isa and Bella. And as an expert i can tell a girl likes Bella as a nickname! Greetings all the way from The Netherlands and i hope you enjoy your further pregnancy and that you will fond a perfect name for this beautifull baby girl.
Well, you’ve got two M’s (Marley and Matrix) and two C’s (Chris and Cash) and only one H (Heidi). Why not balance out the mix with another H. My suggestion is Hayden Abigail Powell.
I’d stick with a C so Cash won’t feel left out but not a famous musicians name so Matix won’t feel left out either. What about one of these: Carly, Cassie, Cassidy, Cady?
I like the idea of another “H” name, you have 2 C’s already, and 2 M’s. Harlow and Hope are nice names, as is Harper. Last name should be Powell. That leaves a middle name. My suggestion would be to get input from Matix and Marley, and possibly Cash, if you think he’s old enough to assist with that. Whatever name you pick, and even if you have to meet her first to decide, will be the right name for her. Best wishes to you all!!
I really like the idea of a girl’s name that starts with C! But I’d go a little further and suggest that the next letter also start with an “a”, so that it rings nicely with “Cash”, just like with Matix and Marley. So how about Cali (also 4 letters like Cash). And the name beautiful, and I am sure she’ll be just beautiful, like both of you, inside and outside. For a middle name, I like something that means strong (I think you’ll know why :)) Bree
Cali Bree Powell
My favorite girl name is Jordyn Taylor. I also recently like Mika for a 1st name. I know none of these suggestions go with your “M” or “C” theme but I thought I would share.
Hello, From a mommy persepctive I would not use a C or a M. Reason being it seems the children from your previous marriage would be labeled “M” and from your current marriage “C”?? I would go with something new so noboday or everybody feels left out, haha!
Chloe or Molly
I’m thinking Camdyn Grace Powell sounds pretty cute 🙂 Good luck in the choosing. Congratulations on yet another blessing!
Hello 🙂
Perfect name for your baby will – Liliana / Lilian !!! Believe me 🙂
I wish you all the best 🙂
