Please help me out! I keep hearing one weather guy call it" Her-mean" . I heard others call it " her-my-knee" like the Harry Potter character. Which is correct?

I think your second pronunciation is the correct one.

Beats the hell outta me.

If it's the Harry Potter character it's spelled Hermione.

The weather people or who ever it is that names the storms left the O out.

It's Her-Mean. It's not the same name as Hermione. I think it looks close enough that it's confusing people. After years of Harry Potter movies teaching us how to say Hermione as Her-my-knee, we see Hermine and get it wrong. I did the same thing when I saw it this morning, then looked again and realized I was saying the wrong name. Think of it like Laura and Laurie. Similar looking, but not the same.

Google gives "her mee nah"  -  it's a feminine form of Herman -- not Hermione like the Potter chareacter.

I never knew anyone with that name.

According to the weather center it is pronounced Her-meen
