Note that the "uh" sound (as in uh-MAN-duh for Amanda) does not exist in Spanish. It is substituted with the "ah" sound, leading to very similar pronunciations in both languages.

In literature, there is also Ursula Iguaran, a key, long-lived character in Gabriel Garcia Marquez's major work, One Hundred Years of Solitude.
