Anybody ever heard of the last name "Ton"? I think that is a common last name in the central of vn (mien Trung)...

You're probably right: Tôn Đức Thắng (Bác Tôn) là người miền Trung .

Where's Kimmie?

<-- last name La ... so far the only people I knoe that have last name La are my family relatives ...

Discounting La Suong Suong & La Thoai Tan ok ? That's their stage name ... not their real name .

Mai is a Vietnamese common last name. There are so many famous Mai s in Viet history. For example, in 1860, Mai Xuan Thuong was a patriot who started Can Vuong movement to fight French colonists. In literature, Mai Dinh was a famous figure for Han Mac Tu to write his poetry. Recently, we have Mai Thu who is a famous artist. His works are borrowed and displayed around the world by Smithsonians.

My first girlfriend was Mai Thi Nhu Mai. After knowing her I have consumed too many Mai Tais because she's good at giving me heartaches.

Mai is also a common first name. "Mai anh da eeeew em that roi, anh da eeeew em that nhieu, mot tinh eeeew qua co lieu..." is the lyric of Mai song. So, not to mention last name, in general Mai has always been something that Viet people would remember, like Mai during Tet.

excuse me, who ever told you that once when a girl get married, she becomes the PROPERTY of the man???

Michael Schiavo and US Laws, I guess.

Yeah but you don't have to change it. My mom kept her last name when she got married to my dad. And we are Viet. My mom's last name is Vu and my dad is Pham.

wow 2 my mom and dad had nguyen as there last name so it diddnt change... but my aunt had to change hers to vu
