While some of our beloved celebrities have simple and easy-to-pronounce names, others can be quite challenging.
Saoirse Ronan, Jake Gyllenhaal, Chiwetel Ejiofor are two well-known actors whose names are often mispronounced.
Recently, Maitreyi Ramakrishnan, who stars in the hit series Never Have I Ever, discussed the struggles of having her name mispronounced.
“Names are so important, and I find that it’s a big part of your identity — it personally is for me. I love my name so, so much. And constantly, I get people saying, ‘Oh, you don’t even know how to say your own name right.’ It’s like, ‘No, no, no, I do. I do know how to say my own name right,’” she shared in a voice note. “Because the reality is, no one knows how to say someone else’s name except for the person themselves, you know? Like, this is my name. I’m sorry, but I get to call the shots here. There is one answer and that answer is my own. There’s no discussion for that.”
It’s important that we show respect to our favorite celebrities by pronouncing their names correctly.
To help out, JustJared.com has compiled a list of famous names that fans often struggle with. By learning the correct way to say them, we can avoid any future mispronunciations.
