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!!!!

Since the 2 kids Marley and cash have a them let matix and new baby girl have one. Search baby girl names that end in x, pheonix, allix, souix, Lennox, trix. Also look up the meanings they are all awesome.
I think Elizabeth Rena Powell would be a nice name. Cause you can always call her Beth or Liz or Lizzie.
How about Charley? It starts with a C and it isn’t after a musician
Our granddaughter has an old name that is becoming popular again…Charlotte. My daughter and son-in-law chose to call her Charley. We love that name and nickname!
Me daughters name is Leila (pronounced Layla) Michelle, I love how the name isn’t real common but not so out there either 🙂 Leila has a couple of meanings, and they are – night, dark beauty, and name of a saint. Michelle means like God or close to God. – also I have 4 siblings and the 3 closest to my age, their names start with an S and mine starts with a C, I never felt left out or anything, probably cause my moms name starts with a C as well 🙂 – for obvious reasons I’m a little partial to the name Leila, but I do think Leila Michelle Powell sounds wonderful! 🙂
Heidi, I am so excited for you, Chris, Matrix, Marley and Cash. When I watch you and Chris each week and when I had the opportunity to meet you , I walked away so inspired. That is why a gift from God that represents you both, could be named Hope Faith Powell. But I also love the name Samantha Nicole. What ever you decide, this is one lucky little girl.
Cassidy Christina ?
Raven is a cute name for a girl. Also like Addison Nicole.
Callie
Corrine
Cora ( 4 letters like Cash)
Cadence
My daughters name is Brooklynn Noelle. I love both for first names, it was hard to choose.
