The name "Hurd" was invented by me, as an alternate spelling for the English word "herd". "Hird" is just another alternate spelling for the same word. By the normal rules of English orthography, they all have the same pronounciations.
I would expect (without proof) that the Norweigian "hird" does have some etymological connection with English "herd". Needless to say, the name is not chosen out of any identification with Quisling!
