Girls were more often named Kailee, Kaylie or Kylie.

It wasn't until the latter half of the 20th century that 'Kelly' started being used as a girl's name.

So, historically speaking, it's really sort of a recent thing, for 'Kelly' to be a popular name for girls...it started out being a name for boys.

I think it would be kind of cool if the boy were named 'Kelly', after his grandmother.

But the problem with Nick's son being named 'Kelly' could be in all the baggage that would come with him having the same name as his Grimm grandmother...who had people wanting to kill her.

Being another 'Kelly Burkhardt' could be very dangerous for the boy.

Also...Adalind might have a problem with naming her son after the woman that she thinks killed her own mother.

Even though that's not what actually happened...that's what Adalind thinks happened.

She technically did murder Catherine, especially for the fact she shoved her into a mirror, which led to her neck getting sliced open.
