Unsure about the Baby Name

[Lena264]

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

Helena Chloe
Jasper Edward

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

Evelyn Augusta
Oscar Harmon

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

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

Evelyn Helena Augusta and Jasper Edward Irmgard for me.

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

Irmgard is a female name

Ida Helena
Oscar Christian

Yeah, I realised after I'd posted that Irmgard was probably related to the name Irma . 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.

Jasper Hermann Augustus
Oscar Edward Hermann

Chloe Helena Augusta
Ida Elin Augusta

Silas is a lovely name.
I would use Jasper as it has a similar feel for me, Oscar also being great but much more popular.
Your girls' names have a very different feel for me in that two of them are amongst the most popular names in the last few years. So I would have to go for Ida for the first name, though I think Augusta would be the perfect first name.
So:
Jasper Herman Edward
Or
Ida Helena Augusta
but I would personally love Augusta Ida Helena

Augusta and Helena are very clunky together.

I like Ida best of your first names, but not with any of your vowel-sound first middles.

I'd go Evelyn Augusta Irmgard.

And Jasper Ernest Hermann.

Although I think you should use Irmgard or Harmon as first names. They are wonderful!

Edward Christian
Or
Edward Hugo Christian

Jupp. The girl names are pretty popular. I am happy we could at least agree on those three.

Irma is the short version of Irmgard

Jasper Edward is A bit Twilight. Not that it should worry you, as no one uses 2nd names.

They're all lovely except Silas, which sounds like silage.

I thought Silas was your other child born 2018?

Oscar Harmon is lovely. Do you have any other boys' middle names from your family you'd consider using, for the other one? You probably couldn't go with Oscar Harmon Hermann, although it would be bold...

My girls' vote would totally be with Ida, it's fab. Probably Ida Helena Augusta.

Silas and Ida sound brilliant together.

Harmon is a version of Hermann. So that would be double using a name

Silas is our son born in 2018. But thank you

Harmon is a version of Hermann. So that would be double using a name

yes, I get it's a version, but it sounds like you want two middle names - you used a name that featured on both sides with your older son AND an extra MN which is why I was asking.

Silas Hugo Christian is our son.

Hugo is from my family
Christian is from both of our families.

It is not an extra name. The middle names are from both of our families.

Yes we want to middle names. One from each family. Or in case it is a boy. Hermann and a second male name from my husband´s family.
