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!!!!

Angel Powell or Angelina Powell !! I love these two names because our babies are like an angel for us 🙂
I think names are so important in that they capture so much about the person and their loved ones. She definitely needs a name with personality and love that your family represents. I really like Jasmine Payton Powell, which she can have a nick name of either Jazz, or J.P. according to the personality you see unfold over time. Or perhaps going with a “c” name I like Chloe Ashlynn Powell. I just think it is unique,powerful,and beautiful sounding. No matter what name she is given she will enter this world being blessed with a wonderful family and surrounded by thoughts and prayers of many others.
I have a 7 year old named Cash so I think we share similar taste. I think Cadence would be an adorable girls name, and you could call her Cade. Cadence means balance or a rhythmic flow. Good luck!! 🙂 I also think there may have been an old show called Cash and Cade?!
Hey Heidi and family!

But for your baby girl,
I thought of several for you
Something like this
*Holly Grace Powell( start with H, just like her mommy, Grace because its blessed to have a baby girl)
*Chesli Marie ( start with C, and I thought of your other kids start with m. Soulton solved, CMP (: I think its beautiful name.
Or if you want sonething complelty different, take my name
Teagan is very rare name to hear around. It define beauitiful and origin from Ireland.
I pray that you Will able to find a perfect name for your baby girl. Wish you good luck!
Since you are both from Arizona how about Chandler??
Cassidy
-Cas=Cash + idy=Heidy
Christina=Chris
I love the name Camille and Camilla. The Camelia is a flower. Clara is an awesome name too, it means bright. If you go the H way to have her match with you then I think Hadley would be an AWESOME name for you guys, it seems to fit with your crew 🙂
Hi, I am thinking since your other children’s names have an “a” as the second letter and you were thinking about using a “c” name due to two of your children having “m” names and one already having a “c” name, that maybe something like Cady(meaning pure) or Callie(meaning beautiful)would be nice. They are both hard “c” sounding names like Cash. I like the idea of making things even…lol.
Congratulations!!!
Charis (Greek: ?????) is a given name derived from a Greek word meaning “grace, kindness”. Blessings!!! 🙂
Crystal Lynn—-just because its my name 🙂
