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 LOVE the name Kaitlyn Denise and you can spell it with a C 🙂
Kerrington is my daughters name and you could go with Carrington or Cerrington to have another C name.
Luna 🙂
I have a passion for writing so for characters I have a list of girl and boy names, I don’t know if you just want names that start with C but here are some names. Addison, Anabel, Aubree, Bryleigh, Candice, Caroline, Clarissa, Collins; I really like the name collins because of the movie the blind side. Emersyn, Emilee, Skylar, and tate, and taylor. I have the name Addison Tate picked for my baby who will be arriving in in November as well!
How about Zoe? As far as middle names, thats where Y’all can get creative… Think of initials 🙂 which in turn can make it fun for her and most likely everyone she knows in the future for example Z.I.P. or Z.A.P… Just a thought…. Also you wont have to worry about anyone being left out… Even Matix….
Zoe Angelina Powell or Zoe Alexis Powell , Zoe Alexa Powell, Zoe Izabella Powell
Zoe Angelina just so happens to be my God-daughters name
Heidi’s name means “noble” and is from German origins. If you take the same characteristics, you could come up with:
Alison
Adele (to fit the musician’s theme if you choose to go that route)
Ady
Allie
If you wanted a name that started with H and fit in with a musical terms theme, you could go with:
Harmony
And although I’m just having fun, maybe try a theme where the first name meshes well with the middle name ‘Crossfit’ ala all of the backlash Heidi has endured. Only joking in fun, but I am glad she has cleared up these misconceptions! 🙂 .
PRINCESS POWELL
Cassandra Marisol Powell
“C”
Cheri– means dear one, darling (and its my name)
Chrystianna – means very beautiful
Casee- (ALMOST) like cash means brave and vigilant.
From phoenix, you guys rock!
