Thoughts on Greta Kate?

Good afternoon ladies! Just wondering if I can get some feedback on my latest idea, Greta Kate. Let me explain how this idea came about.
My biological mom's whom I was close to, but who passed away when I was young mn was Kathleen. My motherinlaw's name is Katherine. Hence, Kate for a mn.
My name is Margaret, and my stepmom who raised me and who I consider my mom equally is Gretchen. Hence, Greta.
So....Greta Kate. It would honor all four moms in my future daughter's life, which I love. I'm not sure if I'm sold on Greta. Do you consider it "plain"? Does Greta Kate sound pretty? I'm not only about honoring family membersname aesthetics matter to me, too.
I also should throw it out there that our last name is very short and German, so I think it goes well with Greta. Thoughts?
ETA: Sorry for errors. Mobile bump.

I like both names. I don't love them together, but I think it's such a great way to honor everyone so I would go for it.

I love Greta. I love Kate. And I LOVE the family significance.
this, plus I kind of like pp's suggestion of Greta Kate as a double first name
Haha - we still LOVE Eloise. It's probably our frontrunner. The only issue I have with Eloise is that I'm not sure if it works with our last name (very hard and German, like Klum or Krug). While visiting my parents last weekend, my dad said that a name with a hard consonant (like Clara or Greta) would work better than Eloise. Now I'm torn!
BFP #1 9/7/10, EDD 5/14/11, Violet born 5/27/11.
BFP #2 4/9/12, EDD 12/16/12, M/C Rory 4/24/12.
BFP #3 10/6/12, EDD 6/16/12., Matilda born 6/17/13.
I really like it as a double first name like Mary Kate. It's so pretty together it would seem like a shame not to say her middle name all the time.
Same.
I like Greta a lot, but I took it off of my own list because I know the 'T' wouldn't really be pronounced in most American accents. Not that I think it should be pronounced necessarily, but having it written there and not said for some reason bothers me in a name (unlike a word like "water", where I'm okay with most American accents not pronouncing the 'T').
Does that make sense? I do like the name, though!
This exactly.
