Would you think it weird if a language fanatic used the name Erre for a boy? And if you’ve never heard of the word, how would you attempt pronouncing it?
I’ve never heard of the word, personally. I would guess it was pronounced “ehr” or “ehr-eh”.

I would pronounce like the word, “Error”
I would say it either somewhere between AIR and EAR or EHR-ra
I would say [name_f]Air[/name_f] or [name_f]Air[/name_f]-uh with the second syllable being quicker than the first.

I’d pronounce it eh-reh, like the Italian word for r.

If I’m being honest, I don’t think the average American would know that Erre is Italian for r or that [name_m]Aleph[/name_m] is a Hebrew letter 
They might mistake it for [name_u]Ari[/name_u] or [name_f]Erin[/name_f] but they’d probably be able to accept it as a name. I’d expect people to have more trouble with [name_f]English[/name_f] word names like… [name_f]Cherish[/name_f]? rather than a word in a different language (especially one usually not taught in schools)

I’d probably pronounce it the same as ‘air’
I’d say it like eerie. 
Average American adult stranger here!
Accept the name? Yes. I mean, I wouldn’t complain… I might mess it up since I’m unfamiliar with it.
I wouldn’t know the Italian/Spanish origin meaning the letter R. I don’t even know what that means to be honest. I also don’t know anything about [name_f]Natalie[/name_f] Portman’s son or anything about a Hebrew letter.
Probably like [name_f]Air[/name_f]-uh, but with a softer [name_f]Air[/name_f] sound, so like the name [name_f]Eyre[/name_f], but with an “uh” at the end. Does that make sense?
Yes, that’s exactly what I meant! I just couldn’t think of the right word/name. I pronounce [name_f]Eyre[/name_f] like “air”, as said in this video: LINK
