Because a large number of Vietnamese share a relative handful of family names, it would be confusing to use them. Titles Titles are important and you should make an effort to use them. Vietnamese commonly address foreigners by a courtesy title plus their given name. You may also use English titles with Vietnamese given names. Women's Names Women's names often include Thi as the second name.
Women keep their maiden names after marriage.
Aware Informal use of a given name without a title attached is reserved for family and close friends. Cards Printing Cards Business cards with English on one side and Vietnamese on the other can be printed overnight in Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi. Exchanging Business cards are usually exchanged when meeting for the first time. Give and receive a business card with both hands. Study a card carefully when you receive it.
