I have absolutely no knowledge of these cultures.
Here's my ill-informed, American opinions.

---

Boys:
Rodin -I'm not a fan of "Rod" or "Road" so no matter how this one is pronounced, I'm not feeling it. The sounds just isn't appealing to me.
Jerom -Well, the Flemish pronunciation of this is the best I've ever heard. I don't like most versions of Jermone.
Han -short and sweet, but also seems dated.
Fender -Guitar
Falko -Falko / Falco makes me think of the Italian mob.
Berend -I liked it better when I thought it was pronounced BEHR-end.
Sybrand -Kind of love this.
Fardau -The database says this is only female. Is it male as well? Either way, it reminds me of Firdaws / Firdaus so I kind of like that.
Wessel -No thanks. I just keep thinking about that guy in Frozen who they kept calling WEASELton instead of Wesselton.

Girls:
Anemoon -I prefer Anemona (Romanian), but I like this too. Oddly, I don't like Anemone at all.
Vlinder -This one comes off as very odd and not really pleasant to my ears.
Veerle -eh. I'm kind of neutral on this one.
Imme -I like this name on girls, but I prefer the male version of this name.
Feia -How is this pronounced? Because I'm saying it as FAY-ah and that's also the word for "ugly" in Spanish to I'm not feeling that.
Merel -kind of adore this
Pip -Cute nickname for Philippa or something.
Rozemarijn -I like it.
Sanderijn "San" -"San" is cute, but I'm not feeling Sanderijn.

I wish more diverse names were brought up more often so thanks for this.
