CRAP !!
First of all, Bell's wife's name was Mabel. Secondly, his daughters were
named Elsie May and Marion. He had two sons, both of whom died in infancy.
Now that we've cleared that up, let's talk about Karl Marx !

Marx must have loved the name Jenny (his wife's name) as all four of his
daughters were named Jenny also: Jenny Caroline; Jenny Laura; Jenny Eveline
Frances; Jenny Julia Eleanor. His sons were luckier. They had different
names. Of his seven children, only two daughters survived to middle age.
They both committed suicide - one on learning of the secret marriage of her
long term partner and the other in a pact with her husband.
