For the Dutch pronunciation of Robrecht, you can listen to the audio clips featured on the websites below:https://nl.wiktionary.org/wiki/Robrecht (in Dutch)

https://youtu.be/RP7tMjkrp74 (in Dutch; this bearer is Flemish and the name is said at 0:01 and 0:04 and 00:16)
https://youtu.be/-UkxuluQh2w (in Dutch; this bearer is Flemish and the name is said at 0:46)As you can hear, the name can be pronounced in two ways in Dutch - just like with the related name Robert. Converted to IPA, this should be:• /'ro:.brɛxt/ (with a long 'o')
• /'rɔ.brɛxt (with a short 'o') [noted -ed]
I think it makes an attractive alternative to the common Robert.
This name is actually an archaic or medieval form of Robert. Robert is less long-winded and more modern than Robrecht, hence the latter is rarely used in the Netherlands these days (or the past century, for that matter).
