Someone was telling me about Hermy-own in Harry Potter, and it took me a minute to realize it was Hermione.
-
There are two main groups, those who learned their foundational language mainly orally, and those who mainly learned by reading. Those who were readers would read Hermy-own or Hermy-onn because that would match how other similar spellings are pronounced. I was an ambitious reader very early on, so my pronounciations tend to follow spelling rules rather than actual practice
-
For what it's worth, her name is pronounced differently in different languages. Whereas it's "her-my-nee" in English, it's "Hermine" (long i + schwa-sound for the e at the end) in German and "Гермиона" (Germiona) in Russian
-
It's "Her-my-uh-nee" in English.

I knew a girl who was raised in a small town in the middle of nowhere, without TV or movies, but she read a lot. She had so many things like that. Yosemite rhymed with hose-mite.

I know Yosemite, from Yosemite Sam cartoons :)
-
That was actually the context of when she said it - she read the bugs bunny comic books (which I didn't know existed) and said that character's name.

My family has Swedish relatives that pronounced it "Yohss-meet."
