Hi all! Anh có khoe không? Right now, I’m working on a comic, and one of the characters came from Vietnam. However, I’m not familiar with Vietnamese culture, so I really need your help to give a name to my character (a boy). I’m thinking of him as some kind of high-spirited main character. I’ve already got a name that I like from the internet, “Tran Duc Duong”. Please tell me what you think of this name, especially if you think the name is in any way offending or inappropriate. Also, I want to know, which one is the first name, and which one is the surname in “Tran Duc Duong”? If you want, you can recommend names that you think would be more suitable.

Thank you in advance for your help! Cảm ơn rất nhiều!

Hi !

I don't like the name "Tran Duc Duong" so much, it sounds so simple, it's no special thing. For a high-spirited main character, I think the name" Hà Vy Thọai" is very suitable to your comic (j/k). Here are my suggestions for your character's name : "Hạ Tuấn" (maybe called nickname "Tuấn đinh"), or "Quang Tèo" (nickname), or "Minh bựa" (nickname)

doung is the first name and tran is the last name.

that names seems fine but I would recommend a name that is easier to pronounce in the western world if this is your audience.

*Minh Tran (pronounced Min)
*Thai Tran (prounounced Ty)
*Khai Tran (pronounced Ky)

hope that helps.

Huynh Mai Vo is the coolest name ever

tran phuc ngo

I like "Phuc Dat Bich"

Cao Dung

So*~ Luu Huong, Qua'ch Ti~nh, Du*o*ng Qua', Lu.c Tie^?u Phu.ng <-- these are my fav.

@havythoai: I'm sorry, but I don't get it. What did you mean by nickname? Did you mean if someone has a name of "Hạ Tuấn", you can call him with "Tuấn Ä‘inh"? And where's the surname? Hà Vy Thá»�ai is a cool name! You are a boy, right?

@nammergirl: Thanks, but I don't think that name is hard to pronounce I could be wrong.... and where are the surnames in those names you gave me?

@Huynh: Is Huynh Mai Vo your name? I think it's a cool alternative, I hope you'll let me use them

@s2hurt and AsianStar: Thanks for giving me alternatives! Where's the surname in "Cao Dung"?

@kedirong: I'm afraid you're confusing me

PS: Those are all boy's names, right?

Nguyen Dai Viet

Tran Dai Viet

That is a cool name, Bro.

You sound like a cool dad, too.

Sounds cool! but "Mason" sounds like a western name....
