Won’t have Truong Diep to kick around – updated

Cuz that ain’t his name no more.

The OC Register’s Deepa Bharath ran this story about Westminster’s newest city councilman changing his first name. Now he’s known as Tyler Diep.

The Reg story says he did it to “help city staff members and others pronounce and spell his name correctly.”

It may be easier to pronounce, but “Tyler Diep” sounds just like - well, let’s just say the Bolsavik is glad Diep didn’t choose something like “Plower” or “Dewer” or “Layer.”

Diep is not the first Viet to change his name after getting to office. Judge Nho Trong Nguyen as a sexagenarian all of a sudden decided to change his name to John.

Query: Who will tell Ky Ngo and how long until Ngo changes the name on the effigy that’s hanging on his truck now, alongside Councilman Tri Ta‘s?

UPDATE: The Little Saigon Inside blog claims here that Truong, err, Tyler Diep has stated his interest in running for Van Tran’s seat in the Assembly when the latter terms out next year.
