Any suggestions?

what is the data type of the Name column? - it has to be nvarchar or have the correct collation — Gavin, Oct 19 '14 at 19:42
also if you are writing sql you need to use N INSERT INTO MYTABLE (NAME) VALUES (N'my vietnamese') N signifies unicode to sql server — Gavin, Oct 19 '14 at 19:45
