All three if my children were born prematurely, the youngest twelve weeks early, and all by emergency Cesarean section. Due to three previous miscarriages, my wife and I were hesitant to pick out names in advance for any of the three births, nor did we know the sexes of the babies. All three of the babies were born in tough shape, the littlest was less than two pounds, and all three had to be immediately baptized in the hospital. With my 100% Italian wife still "groggy" from the C-section anesthesia, it was up to me, only 50% Irish, to name all three babies. That's how Brian, Kathleen, and Shannon, were named.
