Hi everyone! My name is Vy (Vee). Some fun facts about me that probably some of you already know are I like to practice Martial Arts (Muay Thai), I am multi-lingual, I like to longboard, and my favorite Netflix show of all time is Supernatural.

However, in this blog, I am going to write about my name. I am Vietnamese, I was born in Vietnam and I moved to the U.S. when I was nine years old. The way to correctly pronounce my name in a Vietnamese accent is probably (in English), Vei, but that doesn’t sound right to me either. That’s why I decided to make it simple, a letter V, and I love the sound of it.

My first name in Vietnam is very popular, there’s Vy Vy Clothing, Vy’s Shop, etc. However, in America, it seems like or until Baruch, that I was the only Vy in school. It made me feel special, so I was very proud of my name. Furthermore, I enjoy the fact that my name is easy to remember, and I love people’s reaction when they said, “Just “V”?”, or “Like the letter V?”, or “That’s amazing.”

Even though sometimes people would mispronounce my name, I tend to let it slide and let people know how to correctly say it, because I’m Vy.
