i always wish the old firms such as DLJ, Warburg etc... were still around

Me too homie. Definitely have a sense of longing for the era when dudes had the right combination of cajones, reputation, and ego to put their names on the door, when "firms" were called "houses" and their names didn't sound like shitty pop-punk bands or nonprofits (looking at you: Evercore, Qatalyst, Centerview, et al.).

63xleverageQuattrone & Co. would sound a little ridiculous

I always imagined it ending up as Quattrone Boutros & Co. after the 2010 CS exodus, but I digress.

They could have just called it Q & Co. Would have been a modern rehash of the original concept and would make working there seem like you're some James Bond MI6 mothafucka who don't have time to use no full names. Could have been pretty cool. Qatalyst seems a bit uninspired.
