I'm sure there are some Dutch people that pronounce the name that way, as it is obviously based on the French pronunciation of Édouard.
However, I have never encountered that pronunciation myself. In my experience, the pronunciation of Eduard usually has three syllables, all of which can be heard very clearly:
• https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Eduard#Dutch (in English)
• https://nl.forvo.com/search/Eduard/nl/ (in Dutch)
• https://youtu.be/PcxA3WuJoIg (in Dutch; the name is said at 0:10)
Converted to IPA, it should be: /'e:.dy.ɑrt/ [noted -ed]
If you ask me, this is the actual Dutch pronunciation of the name - free from the influence of foreign languages. As such, you might want to consider adding it in the future - right next to the current Dutch pronunciation.
