Gregor and Laisa's kids

Do we know their names, or their ages with respect to one another? All I can find is a reference to 'Flowers of Vashnoi' where they have 2 sons and 1 daughter, but I've not read that novella and despite knowing I should I'm hoping someone can just tell me?

It's basically one throwaway line in a story, but if we have canon names I'd prefer to use them and if not does anyone have any feelings about what their names might be? I know that apparently the Vorbarra family doesn't name the sons after the grandfathers, but otherwise I got nothing.

Thanks all!

I've been relistening to Captain Vorpatril's Alliance and there's a line "till Gregor married Laisa Toscane and the boys came along, to many people's relief.”, so I'd guess the sons are older than the daughter. Which was obviously, as the quote indicates, a political decision as much as a personal one, presuming that uterine replicators were involved. I haven't read Flowers of Vashnoi yet either.
