I hope you can read more Chinese history. The custom of Vietnam people Calling each other do follow the anicent Chinese custom. For example, The general Vo Nguyen Giap, as anicent Chinese custom, people cant call him the whole name, which means to look him very very very very very down. If you called Mr Xi in anicent China, He would be very angry. Only the first name was called in anicent China. For example, in "Tam Quoc", you never Heard someone called Gia Cat Luong. He called himself "Luong", other call him"Kong minh".You maynot know that Vietnamese is open in using surname.
A woman always keep her name unchanged after married
A child could get surname from the father or mother or change his/her full name anytime.
And people know and call each other based on first name not surname, first name is more popular in even official letter : for example : our President known under his first name Sang, Mr. Sang ; PM : Mr. Dzung ; ... similar to call China Chairman in Vietnam style Mr. Ping not Mr. Xi
The famous general : Mr. Giap - Giap is the first name.
So not so strange to see some Vietnamese has the name Siu Black ( a famous singer) as original or Ronaldo, ...
that's not nickname, that's the name in passport. That could lead to Mr. Barack Obama - Vietnamese.
