Apparently the name is pronounced Her-my-o-knee
I have also head someone pronounce it as Hermi One (like Hermi One Kanobi)

I've heard most people pronounce it her-my-knee, which sounds much better than her-my-O-knee. I was thinking, what a stupid way to pronounce the name, when I first read it.
Also, how abour clerks, eh? Who decided that it'd be a great idea to pronounce it as "clarks"?
