“Our graceful warrior is the most beautiful light,” writes the new mom. “Grace is named after my great-grandmother, and relatives in Chandler’s family dating back to the 1700s.”
She continues, “Her middle names, Warrior Irwin, are a tribute to my dad and his legacy as the most incredible Wildlife Warrior. Her last name is Powell and she already has such a kind soul just like her dad.”
“We are waiting to meet her before we decide on a name. We want to hold her and make sure the name that we choose fits her perfectly,” she said at the time. “We have been looking through family history on both my side and Chandler’s side for family name inspiration. Once she arrives I think we’ll know exactly what to name her.”
