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!!!!

i love coming up with baby names. don’t have little ones of my own yet. hmmm i like the c name idea. carpenter would be a music name (like cash and marley) or cullen could be like matrix and be a movie name :).
Her name should probably start w a C…..my daughters name is Charyzma Ann Aangel….I’d be happy to share this name w your Angel baby!
Elida Jane Powell
You should name her Chloe. That way, both of your little ones have “C” names. I love the name Chloe.
I LOVE the name Hallie (or Halle as in Halle berry) Brielle. Pair her up with YOURSELF and give her an “H” name!!! Hallie and Heidi!!! HOW CUTE IS THAT?! Hallie Brielle Powell. Or Hallie (insert your own middle name) Powell. By the way, HAllie means “hallelujah!” 🙂
Hi Heidi,
I love what you and Chris do!!! God Bless you both. I think an H name is in order given there are 2 C’s, 2 M’s and only one H. I am suggesting Hope Claire Powell, Harley Hope Powell, or my personal favorite Hunter Elizabeth Powell.
I love the name Kacy Lynn Powell
Girl names are so fun to pick! Georgiana, Savannah, Audrey, Constance, Henley… so many that sounds perfect with Powell! 😉
I think Carlee Rose Powell Carlee starts with a c for Cash and sounds like Marley for ur DTR.and since she will be u flower Rose. I first though Carlee Mae an M for both m children but sounded to country
I like keeping with ‘C’-Carley Renee Powell,Chrissy Anne Powell,Cali Powell,Chastity…We picked names Renee and Dean, something Thats easy yet when their an adult it sounds professional.Once you meet her,you will know!
