Question:

How would you pronounce my last name?

How would you pronounce my last name "Aponte"? It is of Spanish origin yet everyone I meet pronounces it differently. My family has always pronounced it the Spanish way, but I'm wondering how you would pronounce the name in English, without using a Spanish accent.

Would it be:
uh-PONT
uh-PON-tay
or uh-PON-tee?

Which one sounds most correct? Thanks for your help everyone!
