How would you pronounce Hera?

[Lelophants]

Hear- rah
hair- rah
heh- rah

I'd pronounce like the goddess - like Vera but with an H at the beginning or hero with an a at the end.

Quite a mixed bag there then OP! Which is your favourite? Just go with it, if you love it.

Exactly. I've never heard it pronounce any other way.

Heh ra

HEra (heh-rah?)

The e as in mess, the a as in among

This or hair-rah (still the a as in among).

Hee-ra

I think I'd say "Hear-rah" but with a sort of question mark in my voice as if to say "Have I said this right?"

She’s an absolute badass character and the queen of all gods.

I like the pronunciation Hear-rah but was told the correct Greek pronunciation was hair-uh so wasn’t sure if it would be wrong to call her the wrong name.

I don't think she was a badass; she was a nasty piece of work.

Her husband played around but she couldn't punish him because he was king of the gods so she meted it out awful punishments to the young women that Zeus had seduced/raped.

Hay ra

Hear ah
its my cats name!
named after Hera - mycochondrial (sp?) Eve in battlestar galactica

Wiki says "Hera (/ˈhɛrə, ˈhɪərə/; Greek: Ἥρα"

Which is roughly Herra and Hero with an a not an o
The greek say it as Yrra

Heh-ra

hear-ra. But if you have to ask, she will have to deal with people getting it wrong all her life.

Like Vera But with an H. Great name! I also love Hero for a girl but DP wouldn't let me.

Only ever heard it as Heh-Ra

I knew a Hera from school, it was pronounced hear-a

Hair-rah - this is how I read it in my head when I read the title of your thread!

to rhyme with Vera

Like the Greek goddess? Hee ra

In Greek it’s EEraa. I don’t know where the Hairuh pronunciation comes from - it ain’t Greek!

Hair-rah

This!

although tbf if she was on here I’d have told her to LTB.

Hear- rah

Absolutely LTB

No point hanging on to a marriage just for the status if you have a husband who can't keep it in his pants.
