We will be changing their names, because two Ciarans is too much in one family (especially when we also have
Cian and
Killian), we think that they'll be able to handle the change, since their only one year old.
Ciaran Michael will become
Camden Malachy (
Camden because we wanted to keep the K sound to avoid to much confusion for him and
Malachy so we could keep his initials, but we don't like
Michael very much) and
Katie Niamh will become
Neve Catalina (
Neve because we like it better than
Katie, but we're afraid
Niamh will be too difficult to spell for the locals, and
Catalina because we liked it and it's basically the same name as
Katie). Their transition to the family wasn't very smooth, but we managed. The children were very confused about having other kids running around the house, although by now the sometimes play with the others, so we aren't worried about it.
Ciaran has been doing wonderful for the past few years, he plays a lot and is still very active.
Cian has had his ups and downs. He has improved quite a lot (he suffered from emotional problems after seeing his mother get killed by his father), he still has nightmares, b ut during the day you can't tell that he has experienced such a trauma anymore. They're happy with the new addition to the family, just like the other kids. At first
Tamsin wasn't happy that she wasn't the only girl anymore, but after getting to know
Neve she didn't mind anymore.
