[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 11522348, member: 2844"]I saw the Wikipedia page, but didn't read all of it, just the "Dutch Lullaby" bit and that the names (references to sleep) were supposed to sound Dutch. Was it inspired by the Dutch toy? Dutch people rarely pronounce the final 'n' in a word that ends with 'en', and Dutch names rarely have a 'y'. So to us it would be Winke and Blinke.:D[/QUOTE]
