Nguyen

[Aelon]

People may not know is that Nguyen is pronounced "wen".

By some estimates' date=' approximately forty per cent of Vietnamese people have this surname. [/quote'] So when you're in the ministry and meet a householder whose surname is Nguyen, pronounce it the proper way.

Yes...this is a very popular name! I use to work in personnel at Ricoh Corp. and that is where I learn the proper pronunciation.

This is why we use first names in Vietnamese congregations.

I noticed this story a few days ago, very clever. Or as one commenter put it, this was a Nguyen-Nguyen situation.

I once had a witness friend in school with that last name.Then she moved away to the carolinas I believe. I lost contact and can't find her:depressed: I don't even know if shes still in the states or not. If anyone meets someone else in truth named Diem Nguyen Please see if she used to live in Southern California. Maybe we will get in contact again. She was very spiritual and sometimes a little funny without realizing it LOL

So in Vietnamese "nguyen" is pronounced "wen"? Not a language for me! Jerry you have my pity respect!
