Mary Elizabeth?? vs. Naming daughter vs. after mother

Hi. Tanya here! And my husband’s name is Kenny. Alright so heres the thing: on January 2 2007 my mother Mary passed away because of a brain tumor half the size of my fist (talk about entering the new year with a bang!). I am pregnant with Kenny and I’s 2nd daughter and we would like to name her Mary to honor her lovely grandma. Is Mary too outdated, should we use a newer version like Maria or Maryanna or something? What do you think of Mary Elizabeth? What kind of person do you think of when you hear the name Mary? What kind of personality etc? What I was thinking we would do is use Mary as the first name and because it’s such an old name we would use a... newer(?) middle name if that makes any sense lol. But I think you know what I mean. We also really like: Mary Rose, Mary Claire, Mary Grace, Mary Heaven, Mary Nicole, Mary Faith, Mary Hope, Mary Joy and Mary Annabelle. Do you like any of these better then Mary Elizabeth? If so what kind of person with what kind of personality do you see with THAT name? Big sister is Alexa Jade and she is 4. Thanks for your feedback! Tanya, Kenny, Alexa and baby girl.

Help! I love the name Guinevere, but I can't think of a really good brother and sister name for her. Since Guinevere is so empowering, I want the next names to be powerful as well. Thanks, Genie!
Baby Name Genie:
You seek the Holy Grail of names. Let me help you in your quest. The brother of fair Guinevere will fight on foot with swords aplenty, but on his horse he'll surely lance a lot. Name him Edward for a regal name. A sister could be dubbed Katherine if greatness is what you desire.
