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!!!!

We have 3 daughters and a Son.
Cassidee
Aviana nicknamed Avi
and Emma
Our Son is Jordan, but he was going to be Jordyn if a girl.
My wife and I are having the same dilemma with our baby boy (due Jan. 1st). Just my own opinion, I love it when names go together. So obviously, you have Matix and Marley. I definitely think the next one should go with Cash (C name). Cash and Cadence, or Cash and Candace. Something that flows well. I’m sure y’all will find the perfect name soon!
Cynthia or melissa
I like Ellison Chris Powell. That way she could have a variety of nicknames: Elle, Ellie, Elle-C, etc. She could just be Ellison or go by Chris, obviously after your wonderful husband. It is a distinct and strong name for when she is an adult but then has the option of cute nicknames for when she is little.
My mom and two sisters have names that start with “A.” Mine starts with “L” and I’ve never felt left out. If anything, I feel more unique. I love the name Kenley, which is my maiden name (Feel free to spell it how you like). I think Kenley Powell has a great ring to it!
I have always wanted to name my baby girl Alexis (Lexi) Neve (meaning Radiance in Gaelic) and of course Powell
Alexis Neveh (pronounced Na-vay-uh) Powell.
I think Ireland is a beautiful name. Irie for short! And how can anyone tease that name!! Best of luck, I adore you and your husband and wish the best for you both.
I love the name Annabelle, cuz Bella for a nick name means beautiful which all your children are. Lucy I thinks adorable as well. If you’d like a C, then Catie is cute. My name was picked from Mick Jaguars ex wife Bianca. In the end the right name will come. It is hard. So much to think about. All children are unique and different. My boys are Trey and Dominic. They were perfect picks. Best of luck. So happy for you both. Love you guys xo
see if you can come up with a name using only the letters in both of your names Chris Heidi. or your middle names.
