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 you used a “C” for Cash (presumably after Chris), o with an “H” name to follow after Heidi. Something like Hyla, maybe?
Lea Hope Powell,Alesha Leigh Powell. I hope someone’s suggestions make it easier on you. Your daughter will be unique regardless of her name. Love you
Gabrielle is a Beautiful name
I would suggest it should either be c or anything but m. My votes would be Chesney (as in Kenny Chesney) or Paisley (as in Brad Paisley). Congrats!!!
Heidi, You and your husband are such an inspiration to so many people! I love watching Extreme Weight Loss!
You need a beautiful name for this little angel. Some 1st name ideas are: Chloe, Charity, Caitlyn, Chelsea, Candice, Carrignton.
A middle name can’t be focused on until you choose the 1st name in my opinion.
Of course the last name will be Powell
Sticking with the C’s, how about Cassandra or Cynthia (Cassie or Cindy for short)?
Harper christine powell or Harper christina powell. Have both the h and c in it.
I like the name Cruz for a baby girl maybe Caitlyn Cruz Powell ! And just call her by her by her middle name or even incorporate the M and the C and do something like Madelyn Cruz Powell ! Good luck and Congrats !!!!
charlotte
you can call her charlie
than her and matrix can both be named after movies
When I first saw your Facebook post about the baby name dilemma the first two names that popped into my head was Madison and Tessa. All the best to you and Chris and family!
