a female relative's fn or surname from your husband's family
I don't care very much about the flow of middle names, so I always look to family first. If not that, something that has meaning to you, like a place name or flower name that has special significance.
Random single-syllable names that are more uncommon than Grace/Rose:
Pearl, Faye, Fern, Eve, June, Ruth, Joy, Kate, Jane
I like them all, including Marie. However, just know that just like you disliked your mn growing up because so many had it, your daughter might feel the same about Grace. It is becoming very popular.
