Realynn

One of the first comments was asking how it was pronounced: reel-in or ray-lin.

Yes, this person is Dutch, no this is not a typical Dutch name.

The pink-and-white thingies are sugared aniseed (muisjes) which are traditionally eaten when a baby is born, usually on "beschuit" which is sort of a dried round biscuity toast thing. I dunno. Google it.
