[...] If you have Consiglia on your family tree and are eager to use it, the nickname option Cosi might serve as an update. Still, while some Marian names – Lourdes, for one – are fashion-forward, Consiglia keeps company with other obscurities like Assumpta. [...]

I love Spanish names! I’m part Puerto Rican. But I’m not Christian, so Assumpta is not a name I would consider. It’s almost impossible to find a Spanish name that has nothing to do with Catholisism, it’s so ingrained in their culture.

My name is Assumpta. And it was never a problem growing up. Once in a while I get concsious of the first three letters, but noone is ever taken aback from it really. I also get complimenets and questions about my name. My name is me. It really defines me.

If memory serves me correctly they pronouced Assumpta emphasising the ‘sump’… & Lola – the more you mention Mary Ottilie the prettier it gets!!

That Sister Mary Assumpta, I typed earlier should have had a question mark after her, the rest of the list were nuns I encountered before getting kicked out of catholic school. Yeah, I was not cut out for Catholicism. (In second grade I got suspended for asking who exactly decided God was a man. It got worse form there.) I’m 41 (for a week now) so the nuns I knew then would, for the most part, be in their 80′s now. I think Sister Mary Ottilie might be in her 60′s, as she was the youngest of the bunch of them, in her 20′s back then, in the 70′s. And I know Sister Mary Olivia is long gone, I attended her funeral when I was in High School.

Katharine, how did they say her name on the show? Everything I find says that it should be an “oo” sound in the middle – ah SOOM tah – but seeing your comment, I wonder if that’s true only in Italy, or if it applied to Ireland, too?
