If Monroe is a family name, 5 stars. Much more interesting than Grace.
I think Rilynn is awful. It looks trendy, oddly spelled, and sounds like Rylan, which is a popular name for boys (though I can't for the life of me understand why anyone likes Rylan either).
Grace is very popular, but it's a pretty name. Monroe wouldn't be something I'd use as a mn but since it has family significance then it could work. I agree with the PP's about Rilynn...not a good name at all.
I think Rilynn looks misspelled. Grace is pretty. Monroe is a great middle name if it has family significance. I love family names, especially as middle names. Grace Monroe, as suggested, is pretty.

It's funny to me to read the responses to this post. Our five year old daughters' name is Rylynn and we get SO many compliments on it. It's been stolen once by an acquaintance and we've been asked may times if we would mind if someone passed it on to someone they knew that was having a little girl. Either people are just really nice to our face, or it just goes to show you that on this board, the more traditional, the better.

I think it's awful, and should be pronounced RILL-lynn, even though I'm pretty sure you're going for RYE-lynn. It will never be said right, and it's made up.
I personally like the name Rilynn, but as Rylen or Rylan. Spelling it Rilynn just tries to add femininity to it and IMO I'd go with Riley if you wanna stay with the Ry sound.

Re: rilynn grace?
Rilynn is a trendy, made up name that imo is horrible.
I like Grace and I actually think Monroe could be a cute middle name...
I hate Rilynn with any spelling.
Grace is boring.
Monroe is OK for a boy.

I love Grace Monroe.
I am not a fan of Rilynn. If you really like it what about Riley Lynn? It's still NMS, but sounds much less made up IMHO.
Rilynn is what you give kids with ADHD, right?
Sorry, not a name.
This.
This.
I don't like Rilynn. It sounds and looks made up. What about Riley?
Grace is pretty, but kind of a filler middle name. I love Monroe. You should definitely use it as a middle name.
I do not like Rilyn, it's a made up name and extremely trendy. Monroe is nice.
I do like Grace Monroe.
However, I like the name Rhyland, for a boy.

I second this! Gag!!!!
This!
HATE it!
No offense, but tacking Grace onto the end of a made up name neither makes it credible nor worthy of belonging to a child.
I like Monroe. Rilynn Monroe sounds too much like saying Marilyn Monroe though.
This. Exactly.

Monroe is nice though!
