Is it HEER-A or HAIR-A or something else?

HAIR-a

(come on mathanxiety, it's just you and me who are wankers saying it correctly Wink)

Hera in ENglish, Haira if you're putting on the modern version of a 'classical' Greek pronunciation (i.e. are a wanker).

Not sure but I'd instinctively pronounce it like Hero with an A.
