# Writing Adolescent Fiction/Character names/Vietnamese
## Usage note

The order of names goes as such: family-middle-given. In places like the United States, Canada and France, people of Vietnamese descent put their given name first and their family name last. Traditionally, daughters were usually given the middle name Thi, but occasionally Dieu or Nu was used. Vietnamese middle names today can be just about any name: Duan, Xuan, Minh, etc. Traditionally, the eldest son of a family would receive the middle name Ba (or Manh if he was born to a second wife of his father's). The second son would receive the middle name Trong, the third son Quy, and later sons Gia. As with girls, Vietnamese boys' middle names today can be just about any name. Mixed first names such like David-Hoang and Duy-Peter are sometimes used by Vietnamese-Americans.
Many Vietnamese people have French given names.
