  The vaudevillian steampunk band Steam Powered Giraffe apparently had the same thought, and made a song about it.

    Should probably chew on something, that always makes the ear pain go away for me when flying

    I guess if you trace her German-American father’s heritage, you’d find their family name likely came from the German “Erhardt” or something like that… So in that case yes, the original pronunciation of the family name (and indeed the way German people say her name today) it would actually sound like “Air heart”
