Babymoon + Possible Relocation to Amelia Island - Looking for Local Advice

Hi everyone! My fiancé and I are planning a babymoon/honeymoon to Amelia Island this October after our marriage ceremony. I'll be about 6½–7 months pregnant, so we're looking for a relaxing trip.

We'll be flying into JAX and renting a car so we will be able to move around as needed.

So far we have these activities on our radar:

  • Cumberland Island River Cruise
  • Spa day at The Ritz-Carlton - TBD if we wind up staying here
  • Beach time (duh)
  • Exploring downtown Fernandina Beach

What are your absolute must-do restaurants, hidden gems, or relaxing experiences? We'd love to hear your favorites.

The second reason for our trip is that we're seriously considering relocating. As Jersey Shore natives, we've always loved living by the water, but we're finding it harder to justify the high cost of living, taxes, politics, and everything else that comes with living in New Jersey right now. We're fortunate to have built successful businesses and earn a great income, but we'd rather invest our money somewhere that offers a great quality of life and a wonderful place to raise our growing family. We're also very conservative, so finding a community where we'd feel comfortable and that aligns with our values is an important part of our search.

We also have family throughout Florida (Tampa, Melbourne, Delray Beach, etc.), so we'd still be within driving distance of the people we love and know Florida well overall.

For those who live in Fernandina Beach, Yulee, St. Marys or the surrounding area:

  • Would you recommend it for raising a family?
  • What do you love most?
  • Any downsides we should know about?
  • Does it feel like a place where young families put down roots?

Really appreciate any/all advice! We're excited to visit and hoping to get a feel for whether this area could be home for us one day.

Looking for short, cool boy names (bonus points if they start with J!)

We're expecting a little boy 🩵 in late Dec/early Jan and are struggling with names!

Our last name is pretty long, so we'd love something on the shorter side that's easy to say and spell. I tend to gravitate toward names that feel modern + sporty without feeling too trendy.

Bonus points if it starts with J! My fiancé's late father was Jay, and my late grandfather was John, so I'd love to honor them both somehow. Right now we're throwing around Jace John. I like that Jace feels close enough to Jay to be a subtle nod to my fiancé's dad, while John directly honors my grandfather. Plus, we'd be able to call him JJ which I think is cute.

I'd love to hear any suggestions - especially names that are a little unique without being difficult to pronounce or spell. Open to both J names and non-J names if they fit the vibe! 😊

Creative, short honor names for John?

Baby's middle name will be Jay, after my fiancé's late father.

For his first name, I'd really love to honor my late grandfather, John, in some way. My fiancé isn't a fan of using John itself, so I've been looking at names that are connected to John. (Ironically, my fiancé's own name is actually derived from John 😂)

One name I suggested was Gio. I know it's commonly used as a nickname for Giovanni, the Italian form of John. My grandfather was 100% Italian, and I'm obviously part Italian as well, so I thought it was a really nice, subtle way to honor him. Plus, I think Gio Jay sounds adorable & sporty (and with our very long last name, I like the idea of a short first name that's easy to say and spell).

However, my fiancé, shut it down almost immediately because he's not Italian said it wouldn't make sense for him to use Gio.

So I'm curious...do you think you need to be Italian to use the name Gio?

I'd also love to hear any other short and creative honor names for John that don't feel too traditional and lean a little more modern/cool.

Hacked - Google account constantly generating new Windows devices/passkeys

My fiancé has been hacked or heavily targeted on his Gmail and we are completely losing our minds trying to figure out what is real and what isn’t.

First and foremost: yesterday he received an email saying his Google account was compromised, followed shortly after by a phone call from someone claiming to be Google support. We now know it was a scammer impersonating Google, but at the time he didn’t know. He owns multiple businesses and gets a ton of calls daily, so nothing immediately seemed off and it looked/sounded legitimate.

Fastf orward to this morning, someone also attempted to access his bank account and reset his password, and someone later called a crypto company associated with him and attempted a password reset there too (thankfully they stopped it).

Since then, for the past half day straight, his Google account keeps showing new Windows sessions/passkeys and devices in locations like Ohio, Idaho, Nebraska, etc. — even though he only uses Mac + iPhone and owns no Windows devices at all.

The weird part:

  • We sign out/remove one → another immediately appears
  • One disappears and another replaces it
  • Fresh timestamps keep generating
  • They say
    • "Created automatically by Android"

We have already:

  • Changed the password multiple times
  • Signed out of all devices
  • Reset 2-Step Verification
  • Removed passkeys/devices repeatedly
  • Checked recovery info
  • Cleared browser cache/data
  • Spent 2 hours with Geek Squad at Best Buy (they were completely stumped)

We've since created a new Google account and changed the email on all his secure banking sites.

Also incredibly frustrating: Google has been no help whatsoever. After several calls, we were basically told to just post in the Gmail Community Help Center, which feels insane given the situation.

At this point we’re trying to figure out: real compromise, weird Google/Android passkey sync issue, or something else entirely?

Has anyone seen "Created automatically by Android" repeatedly generate Windows devices/passkeys before? Or are scammers just getting that much better with AI automations/account takeovers?

Any insight would be appreciated because we are absolutely exhausted.

Concerned - Google account constantly generating new Windows devices/passkeys

My fiancé and I are completely losing our minds and hoping someone has seen this before.

He only uses Mac + iPhoneno Windows devices at all. Let alone ones in random states...

This started after he got an email saying his Google account was compromised and then received a phone call from “Google.” We now realize it was a scammer, but at the time he didn’t know. He receives so many calls a day as a guy who owns multiple businesses and the attempt looked/sounded legit.

For the past half day straight, his Google account keeps showing new Windows sessions/passkeys in locations like Ohio, Idaho, Nebraska, etc.

The weird part:

  • We sign out/remove one → another immediately appears
  • One disappears and another replaces it
  • Fresh timestamps keep generating
  • Some say:
    • "Created automatically by Android"
    • "Chrome on Windows"
  • Some eventually show Signed out

We have already:

  • Changed the password multiple times
  • Signed out of all devices
  • Reset 2-Step Verification
  • Removed passkeys/devices repeatedly
  • Checked recovery info
  • Cleared browser cache/data
  • Spent 2 hours with Geek Squad at Best Buy (they were completely stumped)
  • We've since created a new Google account and changed the email on all his secure banking sites

To make things more concerning, someone also called a crypto company associated with him and attempted a password reset there which they stopped.

At this point we’re trying to figure out: real compromise, weird Google/Android passkey sync issue, or something else entirely?

Also incredibly frustrating: Google seems to have basically no support whatsoever for situations like this. We've spent half the day trying to secure the account and there doesn't seem to be any direct way to actually get help.

Has anyone seen "Created automatically by Android" repeatedly generate Windows devices/passkeys before? Or are these scammers just getting that much better through AI automations, etc.?
