How to write full name in English?
Dearteachers,
In my country's culture, the order of writing full name is as follows: family name - middle name- given name.
For example, Nguyen Anh Hong
Nguyen(family name)
Anh(middle name)
Hong (givenname)

The English style is First (Given) Name, Middle (Given) Name, Family Name (Surname) . Nevertheless, Westerners are becoming more accustomed to Asian and other styles of name-writing, and you are liable to be asked to confirm which is your surname, no matter which way you write your full name.

Hi,
It's the opposite. ie given name - middle name - family name.
The middle name is also a given name, ie people usually have two given names. But most people rarely use their middle name. I can't think of anyone who knows my middle name except a few very close family members.
Sometimes one will be asked to write one's name on a form in the sequence of family nam

fivejedjonWho says someone should do this?Well, you may as well fit in with the local customs. Around here there are about a million people with a last name of 'Nguyen', alphabetized in the phone book under N. Even a Vietnamese-American would not think of looking under H or A for Hong Anh Nguyen or Nguyen Hong Anh, or however they say it in Vietnamese.

I prefer this way: Anh-Hong Nguyen
