Outside of Vietnam, the surname is commonly rendered without diacritics as Nguyen. Vietnamese pronunciation is northern [ŋʷǐˀən] and southern [ŋʷĩəŋ] ; in English it is commonly /ˈwɪn/ "win"."
And speaking of "win", a few years ago, I had a lottery winner hire me to drive them around in a limo for a MONTH. Now that was some easy money, boy. Stay safe, kids!
