This was my great grandfather's name, and he said it like 'Earl'. I don't think that he mispronounced his own name, I think both pronunciations could be seen as correct.
This name when pronounced correctly is very attractive. Unfortunately, I've heard people pronounce it just like Earl. Oh no! I always think of the dashing Errol Flynn when I hear this name. Ahh.

I can’t hear this name without thinking of Errol Flynn, but that is by no means a bad thing. Errol makes me think of a strong handsome man who fights for what is right, and though he sometimes breaks the rules he has a good heart. I just want to know why somebody would ruin this gorgeous man’s name by naming an owl Errol!
This is a name often used in the former English Colonies of the Afro-Caribbean Islands like Jamaica, Trinidad, and so forth for men. I think it is a dashing and handsome name.
