I've heard people say it "Noo-wen," is that right. I'm just wondering for two reasons.

1) Tila Nguyen mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

2)every third person in Pensacola has that last name.

Because I don't "know" any of them. I feel akward about asking a stranger, *In redneck voice* "Hey, hyuck hyuck, how do you say that thar crazy name a' yurs?"
