Ooh, I really like this one. I like the unique style of telling a story through letters, especially at the end where we can only assume we know why the brother quit writing. This is a story that I would want more of, except I don't know if it could work to expand on it; that would change the feel of it. Anyway, really good work.
I like it. It's... interesting. I have quite a few questions about the characters, all of which I'm sure to figure out from the story or what I can piece together. Either way, you've set up a pretty good dystopian (I think) society where you have the upper and lower class separated completely. I'll be waiting for the next bit. Keep writing! Because people will keep reading.
I love this book. The separation, details, and the characters. I'm not one to really understand big words or stories, even though I love them all, but it's still great. I'm intrigued, it reminds me of my view when I was a child. I was poor without parents, even though I wasn't an orphan, and could barely survive. It's sad, but relatable to many people. I wanna see where this book is going. I'm glad I was able to make time for reading it. :)
I liked this one. More questions, of course, but that's one of the benefits of short stories. A good part. Keep writing! Oh, if you need a girl name, I always liked Jessie.
Part of the thing with the name is the style your going for. Lu sounds (to me) like a name of a fantasy type world. Names like the ones melissak suggested fit the world, and the ones I would say most fits your style are Keon or Yusuf, although the others are fine as well. The names sound a bit too rich for a poor boy, especially if he's an orphan. I looked up some names (although I feel like that's never very satisfying), and I found a few that were okay.

Most of the others were kinda weird. Hope this helps!
