Thank you! That was the question I was asking . . . if you would have thought twice upon meeting this little girl if her name was "Mai". Her mother and father, bless their souls, thought she didn't look the part, while I thought that -- simply by virtue of the fact that she is a member of the culture -- she has every right to have the name, whether she looks the part or not.

I didn't mean to say that a person of Vietnamese descent is Asian enough to have an Asian name -- I meant that she is part Vietnamese so, by default, there is aboslutely nothing wrong with giving her a Vietnamese name (actually, I guess I mistyped because I did mean to write "part Vietnamese" to begin with . . . but I wasn't logged in so I can't fix it now ~_~).
