I always thought it was
Nu-Gen.
Just like..in my head I pronounce Nga's name "Eenga".

yeah, iono what's up with that silent g. And i always think of nga's name as n**ga.

No offense. I can't help but always think that. She said it's "nyeh".
jennyjenny
i am pretty sure, correct me if i'm wrong, it's nu-gen with a soft g?

unless i have been pronouncing it wrong and they don't correct me...

I remember when I used to go to xanga and I would see so many people with the last name Nguyen and I would ask my friend with that last name if they were all related to her. heh. I didn't know it was a really popular last name.

Ahh, I always wondered how that was pronounced. I think I know like 2-3 people with that last name in real life.

Smith is the #1 most common last name, what a surprise.

I don't actually know any Vietnamese (or Asian, for that matter) people personally anyway, except my cousin's husband who is Vietnamese.. I'm pretty sure his last name isn't Nguyen though.

Nguyens at my school take up around two entire pages (per grade) in the yearbook. I know around 30+..
