Gregor and Laisa's kids

[james]

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!

Oh yeah, that's a good point about what Laisa might be feeling about having kids.

Though I wonder if anyone has talked to Gregor about having too MANY branches of the family tree and what it will do to the future inheritance problems, but Ivan will point out that it makes it easier for everyone else to avoid being in line for the throne if Gregor has a bunch of kids. ;-)

I do think Gregor would have as many girls as they can, just to make a subtle point about women's place in Barrayaran society - his daughters are going to be doing more than just marry well, so maybe someday his grand-daughter will become Emperor.

You know, I hadn't considered that about Gregor's hypothetical daughters, but you're absolutely right.

And I think the first time one of them wants to marry a prole is the first time the conservatives get on board with the idea that a woman should be able to hold her name and title in her own right, regardless of marriage.
