If I'm not fettered by the children's surname or their father's input I'd say:
B/B/B:
Desmond Charles,
Cormac Timothy and
Malachy Thomas
G/G/G:
Mairead Cathleen,
Niamh Annmarie, and
Aoife (?)
G/G/B:
Mairead Cathleen,
Niamh Annmarie,
Desmond Thomas (
Thomas honors both sides and if I only get one boy
Thomas has to be in there)
B/B/G:
Desmond Thomas (
Thomas is my father as well as dh's mn and dh's brother and dh's father's mn),
Cormac Arthur (if I don't get three boys I can't use dh's three brothers for mns as above. Usuing
Arthur is more diplomatic) and
Niamh Annmarie
Mns are honoring. I would say
Margaret as the mn for
Aoife, but I've already got a
Mairead. So if anyone has any ideas for a nice mn for
Aoife I'd be glad to hear it. She might get the only non-family mn but oh, well.
