Answer 2

Well I will give you my best response.

Hermosillo is derived from hermoso/a in spanish and means beautiful , so make it sound beautiful. "Errmo see yo" is as close as I can come to the spanish phonetic.

I do hope someone else will contribute

Yeah Paco, it is more like "yo" as in "yo-yo" than "oh"... the double "L" makes that call! :) - cristalino, Mar 29, 2011

Answer 4

Err - Moe - See - Oh is pretty close, just off the cuff...

yes the "h" - pacofinkler, Mar 29, 2011
