Really struggling to come up with parental term

Advice

I'm currently 37 weeks pregnant and I really hoped I would have settled on a parental term for myself by now! I think I've looked at every term currently out there and /nothing/ feels right. I'm hoping that'll change as soon as I meet my baby and it'll just click, but I hate thinking that I might just be staring at my newborn without a clue of how to introduce myself, lol!

Does anyone have suggestions beyond the usual baba, zaza, dama, and renny ideas? I really wish dada/papa felt right for me, I prefer masculine terms for myself in my daily life.
