He Was a Good-Natured and Devoted Family Man Karl had six children by his wife Jenny, and like many a father he came up with nicknames for them. Their eldest daughter, also named Jenny, he called Qui Qui. Daughter Laura was Kakadu and her sister Eleanor was Tussy.

In letters Marx sometimes signed himself as Old Nick, a name often applied to the devil.)
