The first one is probably B. 'Lois Burks' (not sure if the spelling is right because you will see several different spellings on the web including Louise, Louis, Burk, Burke, Burkes, etc) and the third one may be 'Persian Brocade'. Not sure about the second one. You can look at several different sites to see if you can match it up to pictures on the site. The problem there is you don't know the size of the plant on the web, texture, backside of the leaf, mature or immature, etc.
Here is one of my favorite sites with pictures. There are many others but not as well laid out as this one.

If you look at past posts you will see a lot of confusion on names due to so many that look alike and the fact that a lot of plants are not labeled or mis-labeled (and that includes ABS conventions). Just look at the first name (Lois Burks). Maybe they should name begonias after something common instead of people and places?
