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!!!!

Here’s the names I suggest. Hope it helps! No matter what you guys pick, it will be perfect! Good luck!!
Anniston Grace Powell
I personally love the name Millie for a little girl. Millie Powell (adorable) but I would personally go with a “c” name for her. 🙂 enjoy the naming process- whatever you guys pick will be perfect, and with you and Chris as parents and 3 siblings- no one will have a chance to bully her.
I would be honored if you were to pick the name that I was going to name my 1st daughter but sadly I lost her 3 months into my pregnancy in my early 20’s.Her name would have been Summer Raine (Powell.)
Isabella Hope Marie
Emma Maxine
Samantha Marie
Caroline Elizabeth
Katherine Zoey
what about a combination of first and middle names following your mothers or grandmothers names or maybe someone who has had a major impact on your life. Meghan or Madeline Christina for M and C, Or Christina Marie if you want to reverse it.
Ok so you have
Cash&Chris
Matix&Marley
Heidi&new baby name with a H
It evens out all letters
2 of each
………………………………………………………
So H names could be:
Haylee/Haylie
Haleigh/Halley
Hayden
Hope
Hadley
Hattie
Hunter
OR
if you name the girls with M names and boys with C, then that way if you have any more boys, Cash isn?t left out.
Some M names could be:
Maddie
Maisy/Maizy
Mallory
Mavis
Makayla
Mackenzie (Mack) for short
Makenna
I really am into unique spellings of names and I see you are too with Matix, which is genius
But anyways those are a few of my ideas
And never let anyone talk you out of a name. I loved Hayden for my son but no one else in my family did so I went with Zachary. I worry all the time if I picked the right one. Just pick something that YOU love and has meaning to you and Chris.
