Baby Name Dilemma

Chris and Heidi Powell are looking for names for their new baby girl - Learn more at https://heidipowell.net/3590

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!!!!

  1. I think a beautiful name for your little girl would be Addison (Addie for short).

    I am very happy for you and your family.

    Kathy Green

  2. Claire Monet Powell
    Caelee Monet Powell
    Chloe Monet Powell
    Caitlyn Madalynn Powell
    Courtney Monet Powell

    I chose a first name that begins with a C so that Cash won?t feel left out and I think a middle initial of an M would be cute so that the other children will be included. Iit would be nice for her to have all aspects of her siblings included in the picking of her name!

  3. i think the name Cayden would Compliment Cash’s name and the baby being a girl would give her name the same edge her siblings names have.

  4. either a letter “C” name to go with Cash or a letter “H” name to go with Heidi but I am stumped on girl “H” names here are some girl “C” names: Cali Nevaeh Powell -or- Corinne Nevaeh Powell -or- Corissa Nevaeh Powell – I have a “Chelsea Marie”

    or

    H = not sure sorry….

  5. I think that you need a H name. Cash has Chris, Matix has Marley. My favorites are Haden it’s English and means from health. As for a middle name find an older name in your family genealogy that you both love.

  6. I love the name Vivienne or you can spell it Vivian the traditional way. ( that’s my daughters name) or I love the name Charley for a girl. I wish I would have named my daughter Charley instead of Vivienne. Instead, my son is Charles…or Charlie. Congrats and good luck!

  7. My mom came from a family with all her sisters and brother with D names. I initially felt like Hope would be a good name, because the fact of the matter is one thing that you an Chris create is Hope….but then I thought about the M’s and names. I think a C name would be nice, and even it out and keeping away from musicians might even it out also. Matrix is kind of a unique name so what about Cadee (which means pure) Hope Powell? Again this is just a thought. I think you are amazing for the record, and I hope for all the joy in the world to you and your family. I have been on the healthy path, and have gotten so much inspiration from your family, and you amaze me. I have a way on my journey, and I thank you for all you do! Good luck and Thank you for all you do!
