PayPal

Just a suggestion:
Open a second Paypal account with correct name and transfer the money between them.

Good point, but why cant PayPal reverse the name as they did before.

PayPal Vietnam isn't the only one who is inflexible with their rules.

We recently encountered some difficulty with Japan Airlines because our names on the tickets showed FIRSTMIDDLE (no space) LAST, while our passports showed FIRST MIDDLE LAST. And it wasn't our fault that the names were printed that way on the tickets. It's how their program was (and still is) set up.

In France years ago when names were written as LAST FIRST MIDDLE, a couple of times we almost had to sleep on park benches when hotels said they didn't have our reservations because they couldn't find our names in the order it should have written.

Ten years ago, I had to hire a lawyer to have my name switched to the "correct" order before we could sell our home in Italy. Same reason: my name on the deed was written in a different order than the one on my residency card.

So, when in Rome (or in Saigon) ...

This wasn't PayPal Vietnam, this was PayPal in the USA. I have had money sent numerous times in 2016 with my name in the correct order, PayPal has now deemed that because I have a VN bank account,that my account name must be changed to suit. They didn't contact me about this, they refuse to recognise that the name on my bank account here is written as First,Middle and Surname. They just keep saying I'm in VN and my Surname must be first on my bank account, which it isn't.
