if it is a boy, name him Trent. And if it is a girl, name her Linh or Lindsay
those names both sound american and vietnamese.

My wife is korean and we are having the same problem, i recomend finding some straight up and down american names you like and put a vietnamese spelling spin on them, like duke and gwen, or just be sure the middle name is extra vietnamese i.e. James Pho, not a serious sugestion but you get the idea.

Nafisa (priceless in amazige, language of a few north Africans), Fayrooz (pearl in many languages in Africa and North Africa), Meskerem (September in Eritrean), Jamila (appealing in Arabic), Norini (mild of My eyes in many Languages) that final you are able to be skewed to Norina or Norine which takes us lower back to the question of African and American, desire you success my pal!! each and every of the suitable.

Song
It sounds like an Asian name when you pronounce it, but the word itself is English and lovely too!
I had a friend who was adopted from Laos and was named Song.
I always complimented her on her beautiful name.
