OMG, Nguyen is the number one most common surname in Vietnam XD
I mean, I know tons of people with the surname Nguyen, and they're not even related to each other... It's kind of funny if you think about it :P
Some other typical surnames are:
Le (haha, tons of other people has that surname. It means pear on vietnamese :P)
Tran (A VERY common surname)
Pham is also a very common name
Phan is common too
And so is Do.
But the top 3 are:
Nguyen
Tran
Le ^^ |
