Baby Name Dilemma

Chris and Heidi Powell are looking for names for their new baby girl - Learn more at https://heidipowell.net/3590

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!!!!

  1. I had two boys so never had the chance on a girl name. I think Stella would flow with your names you have chosen for your other children.

    Congratulations on your baby girl.

  2. I love the name Calix (pronounced kay-licks) and it will likely be a part of my daughter’s name one day. It satisfies the C Requirement for Cash, isn’t a musical artist- so Matix won’t be solo – and his sister would even have the same ‘IX’ ending to ger name 🙂

    Marley Powell
    Cash Powell
    Matix Powell
    AND….
    Calix Powell

    I think that the middle name should be something dear to you, but that’s just my thought!
    🙂 Good Luck!

  3. I really like the name Kaydence, or Kd, or Kaydee. I only know two people that have the name Kaydence and I think its a really really pretty name!

  4. Camille; Chloe; Chance

    Here are just a few girl names that I like that begin with other letters.

    Noel; Aubree; Ainsley

    Good Luck you guys!

  5. Good luck and best wishes for a healthy and safe delivery.

    My suggestion-
    Cadence Sky Powell- Cadence has a nice ring with the other names and isn’t from a musician but does mean Rhythm. Sky because your family is so into fitness and outdoors.

    I also like Charlotte Sky 🙂

    I also like

  6. I think she should be a “C” name. I have all “A”‘s. When I was pregnant with my 3rd, people said you should name the third an A too. Plus I think its cute.
    For C girls, I love
    Cali Ann
    Chloe Morgan
    Cassidy Lee
