They seem like normal names (well not really normal), but some financial wizard would realize that they are German stock exchanges and get the inside joke. The whole is greater than the sum of the parts.

If I just had writing and speaking there... much of the population can do them, just not well. I was just commenting on the literary device of the letter to the children, not anything that was inside the letter itself. I thought that the alliteration was one of the best small bits of writing I've done in some time. The uses of “well” was intentional.

Great post, hopefully your children find many alternate sources of income like yourself. ahaha I love the line “Many mistake your Dad as Lazy.” Great post, hopefully your children find many alternate sources of income like yourself.

I'm not so sure of the alliteration at the end. I do know that all four foci will f you up. If the letter above is a mirror of Mr. Reigner's original, then I think you mistook his notion of a literary device. Seems to me he was consolidating many literary techniques into a letter for his children, and not a letter for his children as a literary device in of itself. oh well, semantics. i've written letters to people as a way of clearing my thoughts and often times finding closure, although in most cases i never send them. they are useful tools and a good technique for realizing your thoughts rather than letting your thoughts marinating endlessly in your mind. too many uses of “well”.

Although there is some evidence, according to the book Freakonomics, that names are correlated with life's outcomes and popular names are generational. Education should have been first. And when it comes to happiness, money doesnt buy it. I’m guessing those werent in the order of importance.

I'm OK with using an i in place of a y and that sort of thing. But one celeb has a kid named Pilot Inspektor (yes, with a d*mn K). And some names have become weird, made up words that appear to just be a random alignment of letters. If you want a cute/weird name, try it as a nickname, so the kid doesn't have to get a court order to remove it. The “cute name” fad really needs to stop.
