Boy
I wonder if Boy is a proper name in the Netherlands? Two people named Boy! Very interesting. And a twenty-year age gap between siblings... wow.
the Dutch have such interesting naming styles.

Variant of Boyd, perhaps?
Coco Chanel's true love was an Englishman (I think) named Boy Capel. Nancy Mitford named a character Boy Dougdale in "Love in a Cold Climate."
I always thought it was strange too. Imagine if a man named Guy named his son Boy and his daughter Missy.

Must you tempt fate? ;-)
Also: I still haven't dug up the notes about explaining a woman submitting to her husband. Are you still interested? The explanation states that it was a misunderstanding and translation error - that a woman's duty was to help her husband to live more like Christ. It's really interesting.

I know. It's as if some people seek out our more snarky / sarcastic posts and use them as a how-to manual. But the sarcasm rises up in me and - must - be - released - somehow.
I'm a recovering Catholic / Christian. I've pretty much put Paul out of my mind. But thanks for the info. It could come in handy in debates I have with friends.
In a related story, my (then fiance) and I showed up at the Buddhist temple for our 5 minute wedding ceremony. The sweetest monk took a few minutes just before the ceremony to explain what was about to happen. After chanting / praying for us in Vietnamese, the vows would be in English. There are three things that we each had to promise: (1) to love and honor each other, (2) to love and honor each other's families as if they were our own, and something else I've now forgotten. (Karmic uh-oh!). But I do recall the traditional fourth promise was omitted without even asking us. "Don't worry," said the monk looking at me. "We won't ask you to promise to cook and clean for your husband." Cue the look of bemused dissapointment on my guy's face. lol (His corollary would have been to promise to earn money to provide for me.) :-D

My husband is Catholic and I'm...actually heading towards Buddhism. But I'm in a family of theologians so I'm always interested in theology. The information on submitting to your husband was fascinating - especially to a woman who grew up Baptist.
Weirdly enough I haven't seen much of the submissive wife with Catholics at all - but I've seen it plenty with Baptists. Go figure. :-D
And the reason I said not to tempt fate: I once posted up that we had decided on the name for my dog - Boston Malachi. This was on another board, mind you. Someone then used it for her son. My dog inspired the name of a baby. :-D (And my dog's name was inspired by the detective Boston Blackie, whom this kid will probably never even hear of.)

I was wondering that too - I've seen at least one other Dutch person with it.
My mother's eldest brother was 21 years older than her. They were pretty close, considering.

This will expain it...
Jean-Paul's kids are half-siblings.
It is quite common for male celebrities to marry much younger women and have children with them (examples include Charlie Chaplin, Dennis Hopper, Rupert Murdoch, Donald Trump, and Clint Eastwood). Often, the celebrity man will have grown children (who might even have children of their own) when he has kids with his younger wife.

To be fair his wife is 35 and he's only 13 years older than her, so he wasn't exactly robbing the cradle.

I would assume it is a real name there, since there are more than one of them. Any Dutch posters here to confirm/dispute?
Well, the father is 48 and this is his second marriage, so...
I have a neighbour who had her son when her older daughter was 24 and she was already a grandmother to a 2-year-old. It was a surprise pregnancy at 44:-)
