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!!!!

I like Emerson, Addison, Adelyn, Eden, Aria (are-e-uh), Rheana (1 n or 2) and of my baby girls name, Delana.
katia is a beautiful name. my newborn girl is named serenity but katia was a close second.
Cecilia Katharine Powell. (Nicknames could be CeCe or Ceely or Lia [Leah].)
I love the names Indee and Lyndie. They are both very individualistic and yet sound awesome with the other names of the Powell pack kiddos 🙂
My daughter’s name is Micah and I fell in love with the name when I heard it. It is a Jewish boys name and a name in the Bible but not why I picked it I just thought it was different and not many with this name.
cassidy, Briley, Bailee, Blakely, camryn
Well I can also see another pattern forming here and that is each child has different amount of letters in their names. So I think since you have 4,5, and 6 that you should pick a name that has 7 letters in it. Christy or Chrystal would be a pretty name and as you can see there are 7 letters.
I came up with Cherish Alexis Powell. Cherish came about using letters from Chris and Heidi’s name and Alexis came from using letters from all three of the kid’s names. Bonus is that Marley and Matrix share the letter “M” and Cash can share the “C” with Cherish. Good luck! I think your going to need it from all of the great suggestions I’ve seen so far!
