This concept of Vietnamese names is completely different from what I am used to from a Western context and even from a Sino-context as some names have 4 parts. While for mine, it's a bit more complicated as my parents gave me a very common Vietnamese name with a American name. Furthermore, my surname is Vuong, which is already an uncommon surname in Vietnam. So, in a way, it gives a more nuanced identity to just my name alone. I will always be known by my American regardless of where I go, I guess.
