Comments for ASUNCIÓN:

The last syllable isn't "SYAWN" or "THYAWN"; it's "SYOWN" or "THYOWN" (rhymes with "throne").

Actually, it's somewhere in between. The Spanish "o" is a pure vowel rather than a diphthong, as in most English accents, in which it is something like "uh-oo" or "eh-oo." "Aw" is closer, again as long as you don't make it a diphthong like "aw-uh." (It should be about like the o in "song" (but not "saw-ung.")

We ASSUMED it was going to be a girl, but now we're not so sure, so let's name it "assumption" in Spanish! Assuming makes an ass of you and me my friend. ;)

Today I met a middle-aged man named Asuncion. It struck me because I was sure that Asuncion was strictly feminine.
