Fearon: FEAR-on or Fern?

[deiseach]

Watching Great British Menu during the week, one of the chefs is called Chris Fearon, pronounced 'Fern'. Is this normal?

[Olly]

My partner pronounces it FEAR-on. I pronounce it Feron.

[Hardy]

My partner pronounces it FEAR-on. I pronounce it Feron.

My partner pronounces it FEAR-on. I pronounce it Feron.

I get the feeling that if I cover every eventuality the intrawebs will implode

[seafoid]

I thought it was pronounced "Moron"
