8 Celebrity's Names I Bet You Mispronounce!

Some famous names are very simple to articulate. On the other hand, some celebrity names are so difficult to pronounce that we find it difficult to discuss even their most recent film roles without stumbling over our words. However, as of today, we are going to correct the record. The phonetic pronunciation of those celebrity names you just can't seem to get a handle on will be broken down here.
It doesn't matter how much effort you put in, and it's just not that simple to get a hold of their last names. Examine the following list of eight famous names that are consistently mispronounced.

The name Ralph Fiennes, better known as Voldemort, is difficult to say. Just like the word "safe," "Rafe" is not "Ralph" like any other common name. Since we're on the subject, I should correct you: it's Voldemort, not Voldemort.

2. Amanda Seyfried – “Sigh-fred”

The actress Amanda Seyfried and her sister have no idea how to pronounce their own name. Unlike her sister, who says "Sigh-freed," she says "Sigh-fred." As long as you don't follow Sigfried, we think it's fine.

3. Jake Gyllenhaal – “Yillen hail-oh”

Many people have trouble pronouncing Jake's surname. If you happen to be Swedish, you'll be left out. His name sounds like an IKEA term: Yillen hailoh.

4. Timothée Chalamet – “Tim-o-they”

The actor who shot to international fame as Dune's sandy messiah in Denis Villeneuve's film shies away from having his name pronounced with a 'ee' at the end. He expresses the presence of they.

5. Lindsay Lohan – “Low-en”

Even though she's been in the Entertainment industry since she was a child, nobody seems to know how to say LiLo's name properly. No, the correct pronunciation is Low-en, not Low-han.

6. Chrissy Teigen – “TIE-gen”

When referring to herself, Teigen frequently mispronounces her own surname. Rather than TIE-gen, she has misled people into thinking it is TEE-gen.

7. Alicia Silverstone – “Alee-see-uh”

Gained notoriety as a result of her film's success. It seems that everyone has forgotten how simple a name Alicia Silverstone is and is constantly butchering it in the name of this clueless actress. Her given name is actually Alicia (pronounced Alee-see-a), not Alisha.

8. Camila Cabello – “Cabejo”

The last name of the Cuban-American singer is not pronounced with a standard American LL (Cabello). It is a Spanish name that begins with the letter J. (Cabejo).
