Hope this is okay.

So long story short (if you want to talk about it further feel free to message me, I just don't want to hurt/bore/annoy anyone who doesn't want a longer version... I'm due with my first child in December. While I do believe this is the biggest blessing in my life, I am facing pregnancy and parenthood alone and my emotions have been EVERYWHERE.

Trying to get excited about names but nothing really CLICKS yet, but I think some of that may still be some shock, some is me just being picky for sure, and some is not being 100% on the gender. I did a SneekPeak test at 8 and a half weeks that said it was 99% accurate, and the results said girl so I'm leaning towards girl names but also trying to look at some boy names too. I am the third generation of first borns with the same initals, (Grandfather, father, and me) - and since now this baby will have my last name, I would really like to continue that tradition. For reference, my name is Michelle. My father's name is Michael (I don't want to do repeat names) - for a girl I like the middle name Jo. For a boy I like James but I am open to others.

My favorite I've come up with so far is MaKenna Jo for a girl (Kenna for short, don't like MacKenna or McKenna because in my head I want it to sound MUH-KENNA) and I cannot find ANYTHING I like for a boy that someone in my life hasn't used already. I like traditional and non traditional names and a variety of those like standard names with nonstandard spellings.

Anyone have any ideas?
