In olden times King Nguyen forced people to change their last name to Nguyen. If they did not they were killed.
Thats why so many Viets have their last name as Nguyen. Some people that don't have their last name as Nguyen might have changed their last name after the reign of the King Nguyen ended.

Usually at least 5-6 people in any given year for a class (Freshmen, Sophomore, Junior, Senior) will have this last name. There is a high percentage that at least half of them will or have participated in badminton.

Nguyen Nguyen when you are in a math class you are a nerd, but when you are in a reading class you are an idiot

one of the most popular Vietnamese last names and basically no one except viet people can pronounce it. The most simple way to say it is putting an n sound to the word when. This last name is every teacher's worst nightmare.
