In S4 Adalind would be angry and resentful. In S5 she’d swallow it with a smile and try not to choke. In S6 she’d be grateful Kelly was a good role model for Diana. Adalind is easy because we watched her transition from adversary to fully integrated love interest.
Diana isn’t so easy considering her light speed growth spurt occurred off screen in one hideout or another and she was written to react however a specific scene required.
There were numerous discussions concerning who Diana was referring to when asking Juliette and Kenneth “where’s my mommy” as well as Diana’s proactive response to threats, even a perceived transgression such as Meisner touching her mother’s face, in S3 compared to her total lack of response to Kelly’s attack in S4.
I don’t think Diana referring to Kelly as her other mommy was meant to imply anything about Diana, Adalind, and their mother/daughter relationship. Rather, the writers used Diana’s sudden interest and concern for Kelly to establish that Juliette/Eve felt remorse for her part in Kelly’s death.
I think it's more likely that Adalind suggested naming the baby after Nick's mother in order to enhance Nick's emotional connection to the baby, which might assist their transition from hated enemy to supportive parents.

I don't doubt if having to choose the lesser of two evils that Adalind would prefer Kelly over the Royals, but that doesn't suggest Adalind held the woman who kidnapped her baby in high regard. Just two or three episodes prior to Kelly's birth, Adalind was telling her dead mother that the Grimm and his mother stole her daughter.
