In California, I've noticed the popular way is "New-win." In the midwest with few Vietnamese, it's more diverse: "Win" "New-Yen" "Ngoo-Yen" Pick one. The real pronunciation is something like "Ngween" with inflection in your tone, like a rollercoaster ride starting high, then low, then high again...like a tilde sign ~ D

a coworker said to say it like "when" and add an N in front. "nwhen", or something like that. that probably still isn't right, but it's close. he eventually changed his name to Brian anyway. B

lol...then those non-Americans give up trying to correct everyone and change their names to some common, bland Anglicized name. "For the last time, Phuc is not pronounced FVCK! Phuc it, I'm Bob now." I
