Now this is a unique name! Religious or not, I like it.
Concepcion is also a surname found in the US in Puerto Rico and New York, and in other countries including Chile and Venezuela.From Venezuela comes the famous Cincinnati Reds Shortstop - David Concepcion. He played in Major League Baseball for 19 years with the Reds including their back-to-back World Series championship seasons in 1975 and 1976. The Reds later retired jersey number 13 in honor of his contributions to the team.

I personally think this name is very pretty. Though, I wouldn't use it myself, because I wouldn't want her to be called "Concha".

Who would want to name their daughter "conception"? Please don't do it. Give your child a good name with a good meaning.

The pronunciation given is incorrect, as others have pointed out. The first syllable should be "kon" (sounds like cone), not "kawn".

The o in the first syllable does not sound like the o in "cone," which is a diphthong, not a pure vowel as in Spanish. It's more like the o in "or" (without the r, if you pronounce it).
