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!!!!

Hi Heidi & Chris
These are some of my suggestions:
Justine Renee’Powell
Maycey Anne Powell
Ayla Grace Powell
Kennedy Joy Powell
Rowan Lane Powell
Cayleigh Nicole Powell
I have a few favorite names of powerful famous women. Amelia an achiever and daredevil woman pilot. Josephine a famous empowered Aunt of mine who as a spinster at 40 years of age on vacation with her brother and nephew wound up meeting and running away with a wonderful man who took her on journies all over the world while he was on secret meetings. She inspired me at five when wearing a Japenese kimono to go around the world before I got married. Also the hero’s name in little women. My great Aunt was a teacher before she left on her adventure. I also love the name Katherine. Remember Katherine the great? Your name is great too she’ll be inspired by the great person you are. Deborah is the most popular name of executive women. Bob is for men. I would not recommend Delta Dawn. I also like Drew. I just like how velveteen rabbit real she is. I just think she’s adorable. Remember teachers have been on owned to favor children with easier to remember names. I know you want something unique and special. Sarah means princess. Take care hope this helps.
how about Chloe Madison… that way she has a “C” and a “M”
I think an H name would balance all the letters out and make it even. I like Harlow, Harper and Hadley.
Bailey, Bailey Powell. Strong (like mom and dad), individual (not an M or C), and still sweet.
First names: Caylee, Casey, Coley, I love Coley.
Harper Lee Powell
Haleigh Marie Powell
Hadley Marae Powell
Havannah Marie Powell
Hadleigh Anne Powell
Helaina Lynne Powell
Kadlin Sophie Powell
Laila Ann Powell
Amelia Ann Powell
Lulla Belle Marie Powell
Camilla Elizabeth Powell
Elsa Grace Powell
Using the first few letters of each of your names I came up with “Cherish”.
Cherish is the English vocabulary word meaning ?to treasure, prize?. The English borrowed the word from the French around the 13th or 14th century. It?s ultimately derived from the Latin ?carus? meaning ?dear, beloved?
