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!!!!

How about Carli Brooke Powell!!!!!!! I hope all is well your way and can’t wait to see your new addition to the Powell pack !!! Xoxox. Angela
Cashixley! Boom. Done. Problem solved. All three kids names made up to make baby four’s name. I love it. Do you? It sounds good with the last name Powell and maybe a simple middle name like Ann. Cashixley Ann Powell. You are welcome.
Met someone with the name Ayla and thought it was beautiful and unique but I’m done having kids! I think Ayla Powell sounds good too! I really don’t think kids care about their name in relation to their siblings either letters or where it came from, besides who has a better story than we found your name through tons of online suggestions! I certainly don’t care how my parents chose mine or it’s relation to my sisters and two of us were named from actresses of big valley lol!
Cadence Heidi Powell, Starts with a C so Cash isn’t left out. Pretty and strong and a middle name of her mom. Good luck! Name choosing is hard work!
Clementine, Casey, Hadley, Aria, …I have three boys and the names I have picked out if I had a girl are endless lol good luck!
I think you’ve hit the nail on the head. You need to make sure Matix and Cash are both not to feel left out in any way. I agree, a C name with no ability to be considered a famous musician. I like Cara or Cass, very nice names for girls. 🙂 Good luck!!
Well technically Matix has Marley and Chris has Cash (2 M’s, 2 C’s) so I think Heidi needs a Hannah or Haley to round it all out. 🙂
I like the name Emma Grace , the was a singer name emmie Lou Harris. Not where got that from though.Grace is because God grace is good and blessing you with
With a princess.
I think it would be best to not have the name start with a M because cash will feel left out. Also, not a C because your two other children have a diferent father. I don’t think you should have two M’s with one father and two of Chris’s children with C’s. Maybe a different first letter and not after a musician. Just my opinion 🙂
Lauren Carter Powell
Yes, Lauren is my first name, but it’s a lovely name that means “victorious one”. How empowering for a little girl!
Carter is June Cash’s (Johnny’s wife, of course) maiden name.
And you probably know where the Powell comes from 😉
Congratulations and many blessings to you guys 🙂
