- hugh3 16y agoReally? Oh, in that case it's at least consistent (though it still bugs me, for no particularly good reason other than that it's unusual). What about the name "Herb"?
- cageface 16y agoI don't know any personally but I usually hear the H enunciated in the name. But Herb is short for "Herbert", which is a German name, so maybe we inherited the pronunciation rule there.
