Karl is the German spelling for Carl. Christianna for the wife and yes they could have the same names as their Mother. As far as Baviere, I would say Bavaria. The spelling in those days was not as important as it is now. Don't despair. Genealogy is very difficult when you have nothing to go by. Try your Mörz line in both Bavaria and Württemberg. Good luck.
