Well, lucky you! 
The Vietnamese National Flower is the Lotus! How beautiful and meaningful this could be with her name written in Vietnamese.
Here is a Google page

there are many beautiful images to choose from. I would pick a pink (don't do white it fades quickly), and what would be better than a pink flower for her? Maybe you could use this as a theme for her as she grows up too. There are some beautiful things with lotus images on them, boxes, material, watercolors, etc. 
Have her name written in her native language if you can.
Congratulations! Have a wonderful life with her!
Good luck with your tattoo choice.

Planting a New Year tree or cây nêu is also a Vietnamese custom which is part of the springtime Tết festival. Often a bamboo pole serves as the "tree".
Hoa đào (in Northern) or Hoa mai (in Southern) and kumquat trees are also decorated and displayed in Vietnamese homes during Tết.
There's a picture of what I'm talking about here:

you can also look at the following page for more pictures of Tết.

you can try the vietnamese flag (red with a yellow star in the middle) or tattoo the vietnamese coat of arms (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/c3/Coat_of_arms_of_Vietnam.svg/500px-Coat_of_arms_of_Vietnam.svg.png) with her name in vietnamese or english.
