What do you think of Hera?

Heard this name on SJ Strum's podcast today and absolutely loved it. What do you guys think of Hera? May have issues with pronunciation but I think it's said Hee-rah. Love!

It is marvellous, please choose it! Established, cool, edgy, exciting, unusual and pretty. What’s not to love?! I’d be excited to meet a little Hera, and curious to know more about her parents.

Ah sorry the Hmm was supposed to show I'm not sure on correct pronunciation but think now it might have looked critical!

@TaraR2020 I think that's how I say it too. Maybe I didn't explain that so well in my post :)

Although I would pronounce it Here-ah (like Hero) Hmm

I don’t think you’ll have many issues with pronunciation as she’s fairly famous as queen of the Greek gods (eg in Disneys Hercules!). It’s a yes from me.
