It’s pronounced about the same in either case. “Cerberus” in Latin is pronounced “Kerberus”, just like “cent” is actually pronounced “Kent”.

All the Greek patheon have dual Latin/Greek names. Mercury/Hermes etc.

That might be something they would be willing to change their name to. It's also a commonly used name although probably nowhere near as bad to google as Kerberus.
