Fo my friends who are children of Asian Immigrants born outside of that country:

I have a lot of Asian friends but they all only have one name as far as I know. However, children born in the third generation of my family have both an English name and Viet name (We're Canadian/US).

I'm just curious to see how widespread this practice is 🤔...

Bonus: Put your country of birth and what generation you're in in the tags :)!

I want to know for sure that this is not just something that happens in English speaking countries... Also I just wanna know if this is a generational thing or if my family just does something funny

#For the record me and my brother were technically born second generation (though I do feel like a third generation immigrant lol)#My cousins are third generation though and I know they both have Viet names along with English names #Well kinda. One of them has a Spanish name haha #My name technically works for both English and Viet but it sucks honestly my mom made it spelled all weird #I don't like it anymore lol I actually crossed out some letters in my name tag at work BC I don't want kids pronouncing it wrong #My brother does have a name that's hard to say in English tho #I feel so bad for him too BC most people can't repeat it if someone says it out loud #poll #mun rambles #Idk how to word it which is funny BC I'm Asian but it's ok I just hope I get some insight lol
