Unsure about the Baby Name

We are expecting our second baby in September. Unfortunately naming a baby this time is a lot more difficult
No combination is something we like. We would like to stick to family names

Silas Hugo Christian *2018; Silas is a name we liked. Hugo is from my family and Christian is from both of our families.

Names from his family: Harmon/Hermann, Ernest, Augusta, Edward

Names from my family: Irmgard, Hermann, Helena

Names which we like as first name:
Ida, Evelyn, Chloe
Oscar, Jasper

Any outside view would be appreciated

Yeah, I realised after I'd posted that Irmgard was probably related to the name Irma Blush. I do still prefer the look of Helena and Augusta for a DD's middle names though. I guess it make sense to use Hermann as a second middle name for a DS then, even though it's not a fave of mine personally.

Irmgard is a female name

Surely Irmgard is a female name? So there are three female middle name options - Irmgard, Augusta and Helena Confused

Evelyn Helena Augusta and Jasper Edward Irmgard for me.

I would very much like that. But yes there is only one name option for girls

Do you want two middle names, one from each side of the family? As there seems to be only one female middle name option

Evelyn Augusta
Oscar Harmon

I like Jasper and Silas together. And Evelyn from the girls' names. (Don't like Eeevelyn pronunciation though).
