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 think you should name her Zoey it means life and it is a very unique name. Good luck
Hi Heidi!
I think Christianna Helene Powell is a beautiful name. Christianna is, obviously, the female version of your husband’s name. I thought about using your first name as the baby’s middle name but it didn’t roll freely off the tongue with Christianna. After some thought, Helene came to mind. Helene is not pronounced like Helen. You pronounce it as if it were spelt Helane (long “a” sound). My vote is for Christianna Helene Powell!!
This name is more traditional than your other kids’ names but beautiful none-the-less!
God bless you and your whole family!
I named my daughter Jacqueline Nicole after soap stars and we call her Jackie. That worked out well because my father’s name was Harmon Lee but everyone called him Jack. She named her daughter Lindsey Nicole but also liked the names Sarah, Taylor and Emily.

my parents named me Nadia, an unusual choice in 1956 and still quite uncommon at least where I live (Switzerland). It is a strong name (think Nadia Comaneci) but can also be softened into Nadejda, Nadouchka, etc.
I always loved it.
Wish you all the best.
Christina Grace?
