Yes I definitely have more trouble with European names than Asian. That's ridiculous! The only Asian names I've ever had trouble with are the ones that start "Ng"... how do you pronounce that?

I'm pretty sure it's "Ing" and Nguyen is "Wynn." Other than that asian names are pretty easy, I think Japanese names sound really cool. Mitsubishi, Nagasaki, Matsuzaka, etc.
