"Ererah" sounds fine to me.

How should the name איררה be romanized? it is vocalised with tsere
under the alef, segol under the first resh and kamats under the second.
He was a rabbi in Salonica, and I wonder if the Ladino romanization
rules apply here. Should it be Ererah? the name Errera exists for
Saonocan Jews. The t.p. says that he (Mosheh) was the last rabbi of
Salonica, but I couldn't find it in the sources I checked. He was later
a.b.d in Tel-Aviv. d. 1958.
