Cool question!
Great-great grandfathers:
Ernst EmilFrankFrederick JuliusIsaac IsidorLouisMoseRichard FranzSolomon Samuel
Great-great grandmothers:
Anna Maria Wilhelmina "
Minnie"
Bessie LibeCaroline "
Lina"
Emma ElizabethJeanette "
Jennie"
MarthaRose SelmaSadie Pearl
My top choices from these would be
Isidor (spelled as
Isadore),
Isaac, and
Emma, though I'd probably put
Emma as a middle since it's too common. I also enjoy
Emil (which it looks like he often went by based on records), and I'd 100% use
Rose as a middle name.
Frederick Julius is probably the coolest combo on this list, but I don't think it's actually my style when it comes to using names.
