I’ve always thought the Vietnamese name Anh was very pretty, but so also like the Korean surname, Ahn, meaning tranquility. The middle name would be Rebecca.

Which do you prefer?

Both would come with pronunciation problems. There are hundreds of pretty names that don't.

If you have no connection to Vietnam or Korea I’d just use Ann or Anne.

I’m a human being and can appreciate anything I wish.

And other human beings can give the opinions they wish. Using an Asian name presumably as a white person, especially if you don’t have a link in some other way to those countries, feels very appropriating to me.

I don’t mind.
