In the South, "Kerr" is properly pronounced "Car", while in the Lowlands of Scotland, it's "Care" (the same vowel sound for "err" as in most pronunciations of "error").
Of course, it gets pronounced "Cur" a lot... and there was someone graduating from the University of York in the same year as myself who was called Ewan Kerr... which was announced to the gathered throng in a Yorkshire accent.
