How about I replace the ficticious Ni Ngyun name with this one...Taun Nguyen?

Taun Nguyen

Try again. You found Nguyen but what is that in front of it?? You can't just make up names for a culture with another language, especially a culture that uses a Roman script. A certain group of Americans makes up anything to be a name but it doesn't work in Vietnamese. There is a limited group of family names and the given names all mean things- they are not just syllables that sound nice or look nice.
