I'm sharing a name list of people I know in real life who are of my age group (including classmates, relatives, club members, etc.). I sorted this by gender and by the alphabet and chopped this list into multiple (future) posts so it wouldn't get too long. Here's the first one.

Notes

• Vietnamese people typically use their full names in everyday conversations. For example, someone named Nguyễn Ngọc Thủy Tiên would be addressed as "Nguyễn Ngọc Thủy Tiên" instead of "Nguyễn Tiên". She can also be called "Thủy Tiên" or "Tiên".
• Double names like "Thủy Tiên" usually have special meanings (for example, "thủy tiên" is the Vietnamese name of the Narcissus tazetta flower), so they're often used together.
• Since Vietnamese sounds can be tricky for English speakers, I recommend using Google Translate's listen feature to hear their pronunciation.
