- Joost
- Wiggert

both are first names; both are from The Netherlands.

Wiggert...unfortunately, in the US, it sounds too much like Whigger, which is not a nice thing to call someone. :(

I think if I saw those names I would have automatically assumed they were from the netherlands, so I don't really have much of an opinion. Not sure how they'd even be pronounced.

Hah, I'm from the Netherlands and I never heard of 'Wiggert' =P I know about 5 people called Joost though. It's an ok name, IMO. I don't like it all that much though =). Joost is supposed to be pronounced 'Yow-st' (Yow as in low).

I don't think Yowst is any less amusing. Hey, yo, what's up, Yowst!

These names make me giggle.

I'm very used to that name, but the way you put it it makes me giggle as well =P

im from the netherlands & ive never heared of Wiggert. It looks veryvery oldfashioned to me.

Joost is pretty random here :)
