Nguyen is a Vietnamese last name that no one can pronounce correctly, not even high school teachers who have probably had 19 Nguyen’s last year. About 60% of Vietnamese you meet will have this last name. Almost every person who has tried to pronounce this name has said “nah-goo-jen?”. NO HONEY ITS NOT THAT HARD TO SAY IT. It’s prounounced “when”, yes “when”. Well now that I think about it, “when” is the dumbed down version. Well it’s the closest that people can get, so i’ll go with it. And NO, not all Nguyen’s are related, so for the last time, VIVIAN IS NOT MY COUSIN!
