Names from Asian cultures are some of the trickiest to import into the English-speaking world. Many of them use sounds we can't pronounce, or have slightly "off" translations. However, Vietnamese uses an alphabet rather than characters, so many of their native names are ripe for American use. The following ten names would work very well on a mixed-culture baby, for first or middle names.

My husband and I are both Asian. My husband has a very common Vietnamese one-syllable last name. I've grown up my whole life having to make a hard stop in between my first and last name because my parents didn't think about how my name would go together, and people still mess up my last name all the time because it kinda just rolls into my first name (MichelleLuWuVu, etc). So I definitely want to avoid that for my child.

This is one of my favorite series on the blog. I love introducing you guys to names from cultures you never would have considered for naming inspiration. Like I said last week, I think Vietnamese names are perfect for American use. There are so many of them out there, but I picked ten of my favorites that I would love to hear on a little boy.

My full legal name makes it obvious that I am of Asian heritage.
I am very proud of my ethnic heritage and have never felt the pressure to adopt a Western name. As a I grew up, I did shorten my name to Tri Luong since it made introductions and the like quicker. Dropping the other parts of my name was purely for convenience.
During my job search over the past couple of years, I have found little success in securing an interview.
