Help[Facts] Quick Question: Hereward Pronunciation
I'm just curious as to whether the Anglo-Saxon name's pronunciation is closer to HEER-ward or HAYR / HEHR-uh-ward.
Please rate my personal short name lists (the latter includes combos):

In my mind, it would be HEHR-uh-ward/wərd because the pronunciation of Hereford (which is a town in England but similar to Hereward in terms of how they look) is HEHR-uh-fərd.
When I looked at the pronunciation on this website (http://www.pronouncenames.com/pronounce/Hereward), the first and last entries put it as "HEH- ruh- wuud" and "HErruh-'wood' // 'HAIR'-uh-'wood'" respectively and that fits closely to what the pronunciation is in my mind.
