The Nguyen dynasty ruled Vietnam a few centuries back, and they were so popular that people started changed their names to Nguyen so they could claim descent from the royal family. That's why that name is so popular there. As for the rest, well, Vietnamese is just a weird ass language.

Viets used to write those chinese words


I guess you can blame the french for introducing them latin alphabets

While we're here
>Choosing a common name from the language of the country you're in to go by
Why do chinks do this? Why pretend to be another "John" out of the hundred each Anglo already knows, instead of a Trinh that will be memorable and interesting? Everyone knows your real name isn't John if you can barely speak English.
