What do you think of...

mrsfaz2be

for a girl:

 Kelly Grace

      or

Kelly Marie

 Kelly is my mother's maiden name so it has meaning.  I know it is fairly common, however I am thinking it may become less common and it seems pretty rare for babies nowadays.  Honest opinions welcome, thanks!

I like both but Kelly Grace makes me think of Grace Kelly, and well she was incredible! Also, a princess.

I like Kelly Grace a lot!  (though people are bound to make the Grace Kelly association, so don't use it if that bothers you...)

HappyMrsK

I like Kelly Grace better.

Kelly is NMS (seems dated to me), but I like its significance to you, and I think you're right---there aren't many babies named Kelly anymore.

Grace and Marie are both pretty generic, so they both sound fine.

What about the equally compatible but less generic:

Kelly Mae

Kelly Blythe

Kelly Charlotte

Kelly Rose

Kelly Reese

Kelly Fiona

Kelly Shannon (very Irish)

Kelly Rhiannon

Kelly Vivienne

Kelly Addison

Great name

I really dislike Kelly for a girl (and I have a sister named Kelly), but the name does make me think of Grace Kelly, which is a lovely association.

Kelly Grace is pretty.

I like the spelling you have for Kelly. 

Kelly Grace of course makes me think of Grace Kelly, but that isn't a bad connection. 

If you go with Kelly Marie you, and she, will probably get let corny commentary about the name.

Kelly Grace.

It seems a bit dated but I like the meaning.

I like Kelly Grace over Kelly Marie. My best friend is Kelly Joyce, which I think flows well.

I never ever say I prefer Grace as a MN... but in this case, I prefer Grace.

 Kelly Grace is a great name. Kelly is also a great name and it's totally UNCOMMON these days.

BTW, "dated" in names is a *good* thing. Way better than the trendy hot thing. Who wants to be one of a dozen Kaylies in kindergarten? Kelly on your child is going to sound unusual and cool.

i think it would be good to use a less feminine middle name since kelly to most people is now a girl name. i just think the name would sound more professional with a family surname or something as a middle name [although i realize you said kelly is your mother's maiden name].

Same here.

I went to school with a girl named Kelly Grace S_____. It's nice. I don't think it's too common right now.
