Football Player or Cheerleader?

After much speculation and my finally referring to the baby as "he" instead of "it" because I was so certain it was a boy making me so sick, we found out on Thursday that we are very likely having a girl! I say very likely because the ultrasound tech said, "Well, I would guess it's a girl, because if it was a boy, the testicles would be here, but they are not, but we don't ever guarantee girls." I was a little unsure at that point, but then when we passed the tech's eight thousand awards and credentials on the wall on our way out, I figured she's just covering her behind, and it's safe to tell everyone that it's a girl. So Abigail (middle name undecided) Benkert is on her way! Probably. Very likely she's on her way. Or we'll be surprised in the delivery room, and have to buy some boy clothes last minute. But odds are good, she's a girl. Maybe 80% sure. And if you have good middle name suggestions, please post them here. So far, we have Rose, Hope, Jane (as in Austen) and Joy.
