I always heard it pronounced “New-Win” growing up as a kid in Utah. Thank you for the lesson!

Very cool, thank you! I had an assistant teacher in my History class when I was in 8th grade with this name a few years ago. It never felt right to me the way it was pronounced. I'm not Vietnamese but this is very informative. Maybe I should do some research and learn about Vietnamese culture, language and history!

Kinda normal to pronounce your name the English way in an English speaking area. When I was studying in Vancouver, I Englishified my Dutch name. People wouldn't understand the sounds and they're unable to make certain mouth movements. Verbal clarity is more important. There is a place and a time for language and cultural anecdotes in my opinion. I looked up the Nguyen pronunciation, because I'm genuinely interested and it sounds very interesting.

Thank you so much for this. People are funny about their names, and I usually ask them if I am saying their name right.

If you are reading Nguyen in Chinese, then you would take the Chinese reading. I think North Koreans may look up the Chinese character and pronounce the standardized North Korean way. South Koreans nowadays seem to borrow the native pronunciation over the traditional Chinese character reading, and I think the same applies to Japanese?

I had a co worker named Steven Ngo. He'd pronounce it phonetically, N-go. I knew it wasn't the right way cuz that does not sound Vietnamese.

Mispronouncing names aren’t being disrespectful.
As we live in a globalized world —advanced communication and transportation— where you meet people from all over almost daily you end being able to pronounce certain words.
If you get offended hearing mispronounced words/names go be a hermit.
I’m an immigrant living in the US and experiencing different languages almost daily and I’m happy hearing people pronouncing a word differently.
