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!!!!

As a fellow Powell, I suggest my first name, Martina. Good luck and thank you for what you do.
Cayleafa= Cay means a small island made of sand and coral reef (which is beautiful to look at)and with Leaf which can pertain “new life” or “turning over a new leaf” Nicknames such as Caylea, Lea (lee) or Lea (laya)
OR
Coraleah= Coral has a couple of meanings but one is “several colors similar to that of a gem with Leah which can mean “delicate” and is also Hebrew/biblical and very positive Put them together and you have a “delicate gem” and Nickname: Leah
Middle names: May(my mother’s twin sister’s name) or Mary (part of my name and my mother’s name who meant the world to me)
The best to you and your family! Congratulations!
Hey heidi!
First of all I would like to say that everything you and Chris do is amazing! You have changed so many lives and are a great inspiration for everyone
But as for the name, you could’ve always go with Carly rae, haha. It starts with “C” and it has the famous person aspect.
However, if you wanted to go with a different name I doubt your baby girl will mind, I always liked the name Emma and that could also be paired with Rae. Emma Rae, then she could have her own unique name. Emma Rae Powell 🙂
Well, good luck with everything! 🙂
Emma Skye(Sky)
Chole christine
Monica Ann Powell, Lillian Marie Powell, Madison Anna Powell, Mary Elizabeth Powell, Beth Ann Powell, Donna Jo Powell, Phyllis Anne Powell, Emily Anne Powell
Rosa-Lee Jane Powell 😉
I think you should name her Nicolette. It is my daughters name and she is the most precious baby girl ever, even tho she is now 31.
It’s sweet, yet professional and one of a kind.
God bless your family during this wonderful time in your life!! : )
Margeaux Camden Powell…there done. I win!
