  2. I on the other hand love Hera. Just watched Disney’s Hercules and fell in love. I might be better as a middle name but Hera is definitely in the running for us when it comes to naming our future LO.

  3. I’ve never liked the name Hera, although I’ve always wanted to, being a fan of Greek mythology since Grade Three. Sadly, Hera’s name has always bugged me, although I’m not sure why — maybe because it’s so close to Hero, maybe because I have half an inclination to add a “tic” to the end of it when I say the name out loud, maybe because my own father’s name is Harry and Hera sounded like a mispronunciation — I don’t know. I just can’t like the name.
