I'm not sure how to pronounce most of these, and my opinion would probably change if I met any.

---

Rodin - uh, my first thought was 'rodent' but ro-dahn or ro-dan would sound nice
Jerom - it's okay; recognizably similar to Jerome, which I like
Han - it's okay but I'd be surprised to meet an American one
Fender - I think of car parts, so that's weird...I'd probably want to call him Fen instead, unless he hated that
Falko - I think it was the name of a corrupt senator in Gladiator...other than that, it reminds me of falcons and Valko
Berend - I thought of Berit and Burundi; the sound is pleasant imo
Sybrand - I thought of 'synthetic', 'hybrid', and brands (like cattle brands), which are not great associations
Fardau - interesting; I think I like it
Wessel - hate it; sounds like Wesley combined with weasel

Girls:
Anemoon - like it
Vlinder - it looks too foreign for me to really form an opinion, without having met one
Veerle ...neat? I wouldn't know how to pronounce it
Imme - seems like Emmy / Emma, which I'm tired of seeing
Feia - reminds me of Freya; I kind of like it
Merel - reminds me of Meryl or Mariel; it's okay
Pip - sounds silly; it's in the lyrics of a song I know ("In an Operetta" -The Magnetic Fields)
Rozemarijn - I like some names with similar beginnings
Sanderijn "San" - it's okay; reminds me of diminutives of Alexander
