Feedback on our girl names, please!

We've redone our short list, yet again. Thank you ladies for working with me! 
I would love your feedback on these names. I greatly appreciate your honest opinions, it really helps narrow the list down. The pressure is on, 8 more weeks!!!

Blaire
Blythe
Morgan
Caroline
Grey
Margaret 
Mary Brooks
Mary Kate 

A little back story, we live in the south where Mary paired with a family surname is common. Morgan, Mary, Brooks, and Caroline are all family names we love. Wish we could use them all...

don't like:  Blaire, Morgan, Grey for a girl at all.

I've heard Blair/Blaire and Morgan on both boys and girls and don't like unisex names. 

Grey is a boy name to me.

Love: Caroline and Margaret and Mary.  I like traditional names.

Do not like Mary Brooks... even with family connection and Brooks in middle name spot.  Brooks seems too "harsh" when paired with beautiful classic simple Mary.

Mary Kate reminds me of Olsen twin.  Not crazy about Kate as middle name.

TTC #1 for over 5 years - too many to count IF treatments (tried everything and anything), repeat miscarriages. Finally, Sticky Success!! Twins! Baby Birthday Ticker Ticker

Love Caroline and Margaret. Cute nn's for both like Carrie and Maggie. Blair would be a great middle name. I don't really care for the other names, just not my style. Go w/ your gut tho and what you like.

My vote would be Caroline, one because I just like it and second since it's a family name for you.

Grey and Margaret are my votes. I think Grey would be an amazing name for a girl, never mind what the traditionalists say. :)

Morgan - Like it.

Caroline - Love it!

Margaret - Love it!

I prefer Blair, Blythe, and Grey as MNs.

I don't like the last two options at all.

For me Morgan would be too popular (at least in my circle) but I honestly really like all of the others.

If you love the idea of family names, I really like Caroline and Mary Brooks... I would go with one of those.

Blaire - I like Blair! I don't like Mary Blair though - it's too rhyme-y.
Blythe - LOVE. Mary Blythe is also gorgeous!!
Morgan - okay. Seems like a 90s name to me.
Caroline - Caroline is very sweet. Mary Caroline is very pretty, but it'd be a mouthful.
Grey - Okay for a middle name/second name, but not for a first name. Mary Grey sounds too much like a first/last name.
Margaret - My name! I've always liked it. There are a plethora of cute nn's too. Mary Margaret is very Catholic sounding, but very pretty.
Mary Brooks - okay. This particular family name seems too last name-y for me.
Mary Kate - pretty, but it sounds common to me.

 A suggestion: You like Margaret and you like Mary Kate, so I thought you might be interested in a name on my list: Greta Kate. It's less common than Mary Kate, has a ring to it, and could be a nn for Margaret Katherine, if you wanted a more formal full name. Even if you don't want a formal name, I think Greta Kate works on its own, too. Just a thought!
