Sorry, the solution is available only in Hungarian. Google translation

Megoldás: Mivel négy Nagy van, és négyféle keresztnév, ezért a Nagyok neve: Nagy Laci, Nagy Sanyi, Nagy Robi és Nagy Marci. A három Kovácsnak is három különböző keresztnév dukál, és már csak három maradt (a Marci ,,elfogyott''), tehát a Kovácsok: Kovács Laci, Kovács Sanyi és Kovács Robi. Maradt még két Laci és egy Robi, a két Takács tehát Takács Robi és Takács Laci, az utolsó név pedig Kis Laci.
