Soursop is guanábana, fairly easy to find though not as common as piña, lechoza, etc.

I haven't actually seen a cherimoya/chirimoya in the DR, they grow mainly in South America and in the Mediterranean.

Sugar apple might be what Dominicans call anón.

The fruit called níspero in Spain is loquat, not the same as its namesake in the DR which is sapodilla.
