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

@ladycarlotta

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.

The only Irmgard I know is well over 80 and foul-tempered. Is it a name much used for babies these days?

Sorry, I found your OP very confusing, so, to be clear, is this right?

Your ds is already called Silas Hugo Christian
Then you are due another baby and you want to choose a first name from the shortlist of :
Ida, Evelyn, Chloe - if it is a girl, and
Oscar, Jasper - if it is a boy.

Then, you want the child to have 2 middle names, one of which comes from this list
Harmon/Hermann, Ernest, Augusta, Edward

and one of which must come from this list
Irmgard, Hermann, Helena

Is that right ?

Yep.

What is hard to understand?

Maybe not as a first name. But as a middle name.
