I don't think his name is real.
I live in Vietnam and when I showed this to my wife, who in turned showed it to her cousins, everyone was fairly incredulous claiming that there is no way this was a real Vietnamese name.
Bich is not a last name used here, it's actually a female first name. Dat is also not really used as a middle name either.
Bạch is a last name, so the only thing I can think is that there was a mixup in immigration, similar to how european last names changed during migration to the US.
- aceperry 11y agoVietnamese names can be a little strange. In college, I had a professor whose first name was usually given to women. All of my Vietnamese friends thought the prof was a woman when they first heard the name.
- simonebrunozzi 11y agoI know the feeling. My name is Simone and I am from Italy. In most of the world, they think it's a female name (usual guess: French lady) until they see me :)
- stephengillie 11y agoThis sounds much like the famous "Boy named Sue" song.
- TazeTSchnitzel 11y agoPerhaps the last name and first name were confused: Vietnamese names are sometimes written with the given name last, right?
- dalke 11y agoAccording to the registry of people living in Sweden, there is a "Phuong Lam Bich" living in the country. Is that not a Vietnamese name, or do you think it's another mixup? There's also a "Tiffany Luong Thi Bich."
