Charlize Theron is originally from South-Africa. She changed how you pronounce her surname when she became famous.

She just changed it when she became famous

The Rhianna one is stupid, that's just the difference of how the "a" is pronounced in British and American English. Just like any other word involving the letter "a", like "and", "class", "can" and many more. And for those who's name isn't pronounced as it's spelt, it's not other people's fault for mispronouncing it, it's your fault for not adjusting the pronunciation to the language of your country (e.g. if you were born and grew up in USA don't pronounce your name the French way?) or your fault for not going back to live in the country where the origin of that pronunciation is from (i.e. if you want it pronounced the proper French way go live in France).

[@ralentinovossi8081]

+Bell Gustafsson I didn't say the words are pronounced differently, I said British and Americans pronounce the letter A in words differently, therefore making words such as "and" and "can" sound slightly different due to the accent, which is exactly the case with Rhianna's name. See how British and Americans pronounce the word "aunt" and you'll see what I mean.

I feel this pain in a big way and have my entire life. My name is properly pronounced, maybe, 5-10%. I think most people with this issue quickly give up on the importance of proper pronunciation. I've felt like not giving up would be arrogant. I've even modified my last name for restaurants because I've missed out on tables in crowded spots so many times. In the grand scheme of life, it's just a minor blip but it does get old. I have 10 year + friends who forget how to say my last time and have, many times, introduced me to others improperly. I was introduced to my wife the wrong way and the first thing she said, "very interesting name, I've never heard of it before.....how do you say it?" Now she has to deal with it everyday.

Jade Thirlwall is not really confusing...perhaps many people just forget to pronounce the l in her last name

[@Bretangadang]

And Camila cabello

[@breezy7735]

+Brittany Burke also its not ca-mill-ah its ca-mee-la and its not ca-be-llo it's ca-be-yo

[@breezy7735]

+maddie woah are you serious... shit

[@Gwenifar100]

Amanda Seyfried pronounces wrong her own name. She has German ancestors. Seyfried (Seifried) is a common German name. It's a variant form of the forename Siegfried and the "ie" in "fried" is a long German iiiiiiiiiiiiiiii (in English a long eeeee)

[@isabeau8907]

Long eeeeeeeee but yeah

[@Gwenifar100]

isabeau lewis Haha, that's the difference between German and English. Germans pronounce an i like an English e. And the technical term for "ie" is "long i". Therefore iiiiiiiiiiiiii. :)

[@isabeau8907]

***** oops, that's what i meant, sorry. I just wanted to clarify it for the english people (i'm canadian but i speak german) but yeah, i get what you're saying because german i is pronounced like english e :)

[@Gwenifar100]

isabeau lewis Ohhh yes right..now I understand! I forgot that English people don't understand what I mean with a long iiii. :)

[@isabeau8907]

***** that's okay :)

[@graleh]

04:17 thats danish pronounciation though. And 'Gyllenhaal' is probably more norwegian, or perhaps super old swedish. We do not have double a:s in Swedish.

[@iznasyed325]

'Neil horaan' said hello 😂

[@chelseagriswold]

What about Sasha Pieterse? Her last name is literally impossible to pronounce correctly!

[@magnificentsloth9777]

***** Oh, I see, thank you for letting me know, pretty interesting name you have! :)

[@Ni1996Ki]

***** I´m German and its not difficult for me too :D

[@gordonhall752]

Annemie du Randt Charlise Theron's surname is FRENCH in derivation.

[@avasummers8174]

I'm german but I don't think Kock is german

[@gordonhall752]

Ava Summers If it were German it would be "Koch".

[@YourInternetPandaFriend]

Well I don't see the minor sound differences as 'mispronunciations', I just see it as a different culture's way of saying it. For example my name is pronounced 'ah-lih-sa' but I go to a French immersion school and when in class we speak only French and my teachers and classmates will pronounce it 'ah-lee-saa' but outside class they say it how it normally is. Hope this made sense

[@gideonroos1188]

I'm certain Charlize has just learned to be satisfied with that pronunciation. It's an Afrikaans surname that is actually pronounced similar to the name of the movie Tron.

[@Tonatheos]

What does it actually mean in Afrikaans? It's literally the Greek word for "hunter"

[@damon_aaron]

Sometimes one's surname is pronounced differently. Take mine for instance. Unlike most, my surname is pronounced with a long A, so it's AY-run, not ERR- un.

[@andrea7793]

I literally watched The Lovely Bones from 3 to 5 am today xD it was really good.

[@one.twentythree]

americans mispronounce even the simple ones like selena gomez and jennifer lopez. its Go-mez not Gow-mez and lo-pez not lowpez

[@BeyBladGuy365]

Princess R You do realize that lowpez and lo-pez are the same, right? Same for Go-mez and Gowmez

[@laural5674]

Princess R literally never in my life have i heard ANYONE say gow-mez or low-pez

[@triciamccutchen3227]

Princess R uhhh yeah far and few people pronounce it that way idk what you're talking about

[@blinski1]

Princess R You probably wanted to say the proper pronunciation is Gaw-mez and Law-pez.

[@needlenoggins]

blinski1 Actually I think it is Go-mez because it's how spanish and latin countries pronouce it. But I am not 100% sure.

[@solreategui418]

i heard rihanna being pronounced the same, WHATS THE DIFFERENCE?

[@asenabanana]

the a

[@johnNYgoesLA]

+Sol Reategui REE-AH-NA or REE-AN-NA

[@Fairyni]

+johnNYgoesLA REE-ANNA

[@julianna4898]

+Sol Reategui Just like my name is pronounced Jew-Lee-An-Uh. It' be Jew-Lee-On-Uh if my name only had one N in it but I have two. Most of the time it depends on where you're from though. I rarely run into people who say my name correctly.

[@julielaidlee]

+Julianna Harrell OMG WE HAVE THE SAME NAME... SPELT THE SAME AND EVERYTHING!!! I HAVE NEVER SEEN ANYONE ELSE WITH THIS NAME BEFORE. My one is pronounced anna and not arna though.

[@AndrewLoyal]

[@dessertstorm7476]

[@kiratrimble464]

There are loads of Saoirse's where I live so I thought growing up that it's as common as my own name

[@Whydontijustusespotify123]

the voice if the speaker is annoying af

[@JimBobSr]

I was mentally singing "Oh na, nah what's my name?!" at the Rihanna one.

[@karunaelizabeth857]

i know how they feel lol, no one has ever pronounced my last name right at first, teachers, best friends, family members...haha, it takes them a while to get it

[@EddieBryan]

Now I have heard Jake Gyllenhaal's sister pronounce her name as Jill En Hall. I assumed his too, would be G like J but they are saying what Y. Yeel En Hall? And did you know, Ralph Fiennes' name is pronounced Rafe Fines. Just learned that one.

[@tiascarletttrinder3145]

Im from the UK and I say Rhianna the right way.

[@agaytalkingcat924]

[@ash.has.ashy.elbows]

+Tia Scarlett Trinder Lmao you sound like a stuck up 11 year old idiot.

[@elenadiruvo2188]

I heard Mia saying her last name's pronunciation is "Wa-shi-ko-wska" and i learned to pronounce it like that (still, she said that is english pronunciation because in Polish they say "Wa-si-ko-wska)

[@123lotta321]

yes, I'm Polish and we say Wasikowska :) I was suprised when I found out how American say name of Polish Nobel price winner Lech Wałęsa. It was "Lek Wolenza" and I didn't understand it. It should be V A Ł (it sounds like "w" when you say way) Ę (it sounds like "eng" when you say lenght) S (like sign) A :D Not easy to say ;)

[@thatfuzzynarwhal9464]

There was a kid in my class who’s name started with a W who came from Poland and we thought his name was Wiktor for 7 months.

[@Ayesha_5782]

ThatFuzzyNarwhal 😂💀

[@ikeepscreamingbutgodwontan3132]

😁😁😁

[@kbahr214]

(Unsure if anyone else already said it)- it’s saoirse like INTERTIA. she says it in an interview with Steven Colbert. Not seer-sha. Sir-sha.

[@MaggiePayne916]

When I told my mom about how we've been pronouncing Jake Gyllenhaal's name all wrong and that it's Sweedish and it's really Jake Yeelenhall she asked, "Then wouldn't his name be Yake Yeelenhall?" Now I'm not sure if it would be Yake Yeelenhall.

[@ChestneyChiller]

Since when the fuck is Rhianna's name Rheanna?! I've said Rhianna my whole life.

[@PetroleumJellay]

Apparently since forever lmfao

[@ChestneyChiller]

I've always said it like Rhe- Awna.

[@kunfussed213]

+Chestney Chiller I've heard her pronounce her own name both ways. She probably just goes with the flow, but in her mind thinking, it's REE ANNA.

[@iambrysoncarter]

It's always been Rihanna. REE ANNE UH.

[@bananaguy1509]

Rihanna* (Ree-anne-ah)

[@vincedavid7075]

im in school and most of the teachers or some call me david when they see my name written on paper or something its hard man my real name is vince

[@ikeepscreamingbutgodwontan3132]

Why?

[@legoman716]

Gyllenhaal (Gyllenhål)= golden hole. such a strange name

[@irenaholc3990]

In reality,even Charlize said her last name wrong. It's Tron not Theron.

[@irenaholc3990]

Juli Yeah I watched that clip too and she said it right. I wish people (all of them) would pronounce the names and surnames correctly,not "americanize" it...

[@thetaefae]

It's not thron either. It's Teron. The H is silent. A boksburg chick who forgot her own roots.

[@irenaholc3990]

Yeah. Basically it's "Tron".

[@thetaefae]

Ahhh, no. It's not Tron. She Isent a robot. It's Te-Ron. The H is silent, you still pronounce the e.

[@irenaholc3990]

From what I heard on the interview with Peers Morgan she said Tron. But anyway, afrikaans is not how people pronounce her name. One way or another. Let' not get into arguing because of someone's surname.

People always spell my name wrong and pronounce my last name wrong but I've gotten used to it lol

[@Zanderthegrape]

lol lots of people are like "omg i cant pronounce your name, do you have a nickname?" um... if you can pronounce supercalifragilisticexpialadocious, you can pronounce names/terms other than traditional Eurocentric American names.

[@maroulio2067]

I just saw this as I was looking for mispronounced names and will use your example- my name is Maroulio and I do not have or want a nickname.

[@cloudedits4796]

Oh. Rihanna pronounces her name like mine. I'm Rhianna.

[@cloudedits4796]

+Anna McCloud People mispronounce my name all the time too

[@annaengel580]

+Anna McCloud Your name is Anna like mine not Rhianna

[@cloudedits4796]

Anna Engel Wrong! I just changed it for KZbin because I didn't want my friends to know who I was. My name is Rhianna. And it is pronounced the same as the popstar, unfortunately. But don't worry, I was born long before she was famous XD

[@annaengel580]

+Anna McCloud Oh sorry

[@judytabordakiewicz4305]

In Poland we spell "Wasikowska differently because of "si". In other coutries people can't spell "si","ci" and other Polish combinations of letters that sounds completely different
