Usage notes
More often than not, the average Vietnamese person is not aware of the differences between the United Kingdom, Great Britain and England, and they do not usually attempt to be, similarly to a Chinese person to zh 英國 or a Japanese person to ja イギリス Igirisu. But unlike in Chinese and Japanese, there seem to be no de facto distinguishing terms for those concepts in Vietnamese even in diplomatic contexts, although one may sometimes hear vi Anh Quốc be used for the United Kingdom.
Due to this name awkwardly being homophonous with vi anh elder brother, people who bear it may be preferably referred to also by their middle name, e.g. Tuấn Anh, Lan Anh.
