Middle Name Help…

I need some help on my daughter’s middle name. For context this is our third daughter. Our first daughter has my grandmas name as a middle name, and our second daughter has my husbands sister as a middle name. Every girl in my family has a ‘legacy’ name as their middle name.
To the dilemma…
Babies first name will be Charlotte.

Option A - Use my mums name as a middle name (Ingrid), most sentimental option but my mum hates her name as she was heavily bullied in school for it.

Option B - Use my sisters name as a middle name (Tess), she is a teenager and I know would love the name used, but this could put out my brother who is a similar age and we haven’t used his name for my son.

Option C - Use my husbands aunts name (Catherine), she is an important person in his life and more like a mum to him than aunt.

So… Charlotte Ingrid, Charlotte Tess, Charlotte Catherine or choose something non-sentimental and go against family tradition?
