I haven't tried to sex them just yet...the last time I fostered a litter, I sexed and named them early, then ended up having to change two names because I was wrong.
So I'm trying to hold off. I'm brainstorming themes for names though!Here are some more photos.
And lest we forget that mama is still a kitten, too:

Oh, so precious! Momma kitten looks like such sweet, lovely dear. I was happy to hear your parents are considering giving her a forever home.

I'm working on them. My dad really wants her but my mom is hesitant to add to their family. They have 3 cats already but have had as many as 6 before. They love the ones they have now but none of them are really snuggle bugs. More aloof. My dad really wants to add a cuddler to the mix. When they came over he totally fell in love. I send them lots of cute photos every day to persuade them!
But the rescue I work for is no-kill so whether they take her or not, she will find a forever home! I honestly would keep her, but one of my two permanent residents is terrible with other cats. He doesn't even get along with our other cat who we've had for 5 years.
That sounds like my Luciano, so I understand why you wouldn't be adding members to your family permanently.
As for names, do you watch the show blackish? There are five kids on that show: Zoey, Junior, Jack, Diane & Davonte. The mom's name on the show is Rainbow (child of hippies), but she's usually called Bow. I'm not crazy about Dyna(?) as the name for this mama, which is why I suggest the change.

Dyra is her name, I don't like it either! Unfortunately I can't technically change it unless I adopt her. The rescue I volunteer for has to be really stringent about keeping the same name on all of the paperwork for each cat. My parents will definitely be changing the name if they adopt her!! Kinda why I've just been calling her "mama."
I'm not sure what it is about shelters naming their cats, but they sure are finicky about it. I trapped an abandoned feral last summer and kept him for a few weeks until he weighed enough and was old enough to take to the shelter. I wrote up a one sheet summary of Dasher's personality and food and toy preferences. The lady at the shelter remarked, "Oh. I see you named him already. I'll have to see what they think about that." She had an extremely perturbed tone of voice about me naming him. 
I had to call him something.

Ironically, my naughty cat Axel, who prevents us from adopting any new family members, would fit right in with this family!!

Haha! Yeah, they can be quirky about those things.I'm not sure what it is about shelters naming their cats, but they sure are finicky about it.

Awww...Axel is so handsome. 
Last time I fostered cats was 13 years ago. 'Twas a failed foster...I adopted both kitties. The shelter had named them Snoop Doggie and Hobie Cat; they said they were "surfer names"??? It was way before rapper Snoop Dogg came onto the music scene.
Tangent and Cosine did just fine with new names.

You can call her whatever you want, the paperwork is a different story. I know a lot of people who don't use their given first name anywhere but legal documents.
If you don't like the blackish idea, do you have a favorite band or group of athletes? You can use last names or nicknames that are gender neutral - Jordan, Pippen, Shaq, Malone

Finally got some decent natural light. Makes for much better pictures! I don't like to take them out of the nest often but it's kind of necessary in order to get decent photos.
Ooohhhh! I just wish I could reach through the computer screen. So cute!!!

I'm absolutely in love with these babies! (Including kitten mama) 
I bet you had a name you would have liked to call her!I'm not sure what it is about shelters naming their cats, but they sure are finicky about it.
