Now I wonder English word "cute" sounds close to "Kuijt" in Dutch.

He is absolutely not cute, btw. :)

'Cute' is pretty far off. If I had to katakanize it, I would use
カウット.

so the first sound is closer to カ than ケ? how about ケユット？

Not really even close. I think you are getting confused because "ij" is somewhere between エー and　アイ, but that doesn't even matter. We are dealing with "uij", which sounds completely different. It rhymes with "ui", as in http://homepage.mac.com/schuffelen/dupron2/huispui.MP3.

Now I see, 'uij' is not 'ij' alone and Kuyt/Kuijt has initial 'u'
which is more close to Japanese /a/ than Japanese /e/. OK.
So /kaut/ is enough close (for non-NSoD). thx.
