Flip_Side Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 The name Nguyen? I've heard it many times in different ways. I've seen it pronounced as: 1-"Win" 2-"Nug Win" 3-"Nig Win" 4-"Guy Yen" and 5-"Goo Yen" Is there a proper pronunciation or can it be all those?

jaxfactor Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 I always thought it was pronounced "gwin". At least that's how the announcers of the WSOP pronounce Scottie Nguyen's name. I know it's probably the most common Vietnamese surname. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
