Please note that actually def'ing each value is not what you're
supposed to do :) def is reserved for global constants and dynamically
rebindable variables, and redefing an existing variable is considered
bad style.

You might do something like this:

(defn children [father mother & children]
  (let [base {:father father :mother mother}]
    (for [c children] (assoc base :name c))))

;; note, that's not a for loop, but a seq comprehension

which, when called like
  (children "John" "Mary" "Cindy" "Gary")
produces a (lazy) sequence of maps representing the children.
