Are there any differences between how Vietnamese name their children now and in the past?

Yes, there are. In the past, people in Vietnam often chose traditional names with deep meanings, related to virtue or nature, but nowadays parents prefer unique or modern names. Sometimes they try names influenced by foreign culture. So you could say that naming styles have changed a lot over time.

Absolutely, people used to choose names based on tradition or family hierarchy, often with symbolic or meaningful connotations. But now, parents prefer names that are more modern, unique, and meaningful, reflecting their hopes for their child's future.
