Actually, there's nothing WASPy about it, rather it's an arriveste ethnic's notion of WASPY. As I mentioned in another reply, if the child were a truly well-born WASP, she would have three given names, not two, and all of them would be servicable as surnames, possibly excepting the first one. Soros connections, of course, would absolutely make the girl's father declasse in WASP circles, as would his talk about the child as an "investment." Good Northeastern WASPs may well spend less time with their children than their nannies do, and may well pack them off to boarding schools somewhere between the ages of 8 and 14, because they believe it is a better way to form their characters, but they don't prattle on about the "villa" or the "investment." If this couple belongs to any decent clubs, I would expect they'll be the object of some derision after this article.

LOL, well, there are major differences between old money Boston brahmins and nouveau-riche yuppies aping them.

Exactly, like all the unfortunate little girls that got stuck with "Crystal" (Krystal?) while "Dynasty" was on TV.

Great response---these folks would not be made to feel at home among many in Dover,MA where you never,ever would talk about money or investments .
