I was in the same boat, I think most are. I had the same worries and I still have worries, there will always be something worry about.
Really there aren't too many necessities. As long as you have a pack of diapers (or 2), a few onesies, and a few receiving blankets you'll be fine.
Don't worry about the highchair, you won't need it for months. The swing you may want though, but it's not a necessity. Don't worry about getting everything done. Your baby won't care if she has her own space. don't worry about the crib. I slept in a chair with Nathan on my chest for the first 2 weeks. don't worry about a changing table you can change her on a bed or blanket on the floor.
EDIT TO ADD: Don't worry about her name. My husband and I couldn't decide on a name either. It was going to be either Nathan or Christopher. Since we both liked both names I bowed out and gave my husband the task of choosing between the two names. He went back and forth many many times before deciding that this baby will be named Nathan.
My husband's parents had the hardest time with naming their kids. When my husband, Justin, was born they didn't have a name for him until they had to put something on the birth certificate. They then decided on "Justin". Justin has 2 sisters, Lindsay and Diana. Lindsay came home with the name "Melissa" a few weeks later they changed it too "Lindsay". Diana cane home with no name at all, her birth certificate just said "baby girl".
