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!

I had vaguely thought they'd be named by Vor tradition - Serg + Laisa's father's first name for the eldest, then Serg's middle name & L's father's middle name... and then realized that no, Gregor is probably not naming his son Serg. Hmm.

He might go with Laisa's father's names, following Miles' pattern and setting a tradition for "children with offworld mothers get their maternal grandfather's names." Adds a bit of exotic variety. A few less Donos and Xavs to trip over. Remind everyone that Barrayar is not so isolated anymore, while still keeping some of its traditions.

Of course, that doesn't fix the problem of not having any canon names to work with.

Well the Emperors don't use that naming tradition - Gregor is not named Ezar, after all. Which makes sense that you'd want the rulers to have unique names so you could refer to them historically.

So basically Gregor's kids' names are a free-for-all.
