Phẫn Nộ my Arse... Haha....This is just so true. I even remember on family guy, they made fun of the last name Nguyen, where Brian pronounced it Nuh-Goo-Yen. FAIL.
My american first name, a viet middle name. I hope to continue that with my kids. I don’t find it abandoning my heritage or anything, I mean all my family & viet friends know me by my viet name....
This is just a funny video clip.. what about the opposite? Vietnamese American names that VC people CAN'T pronounce ….like…Mikey becomes My Khi (my monkey)... Mark becomes Mac.. Rachel becomes Ray-Cho (which is somehow more VEM. sounding now)... etc.
