    Celebrity names -- of course there are some stars who choose their stage names -- you know, Lady Gaga… Drake….Snoop Dogg … but then there are those unlucky few that are blessed with names nearly impossible to pronounce.
    Okay fine, so I’m being a little dramatic but seriously, I’m pretty sure the only thing more annoying than people constantly mispronouncing your name … would be to have people constantly asking you how to pronounce your name. So today we’re going to do a public service to all of these celebs and teach you guys the proper pronunciation of these talented individuals.
    1. Quvenzhane Wallis
    2. Amanda Seyfried
    3. Mia Wasikowska
    4. Rihanna
    a. REE-ANNE-UH
    5. Saoirse Ronan
    6. Charlize Theron

    Charlize Theron is originally from South-Africa. She changed how you pronounce her surname 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).

      +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.

    P.s. Saoirse (with an i) is seer-sha and Saorse (without an i) is sore-sha.

      Maricela Hernandez I would have asked to call you Mari if I had troubles. Nonetheless, you'd still have to remind me about the 're' part cause I would have said Marcella.

    I used to always pronounce rihannas name properly until I heard Americans pronouncing it the way they do and assumed I had been saying it wrong and switched to the american way. Now I know the original way I said it was right all along but Its so hard to switch back now

      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
      @thetaefae 8 років тому +5

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

    • @irenaholc3990
      @irenaholc3990 8 років тому

      Yeah. Basically it's "Tron".

    • @thetaefae
      @thetaefae 8 років тому +2

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

    • @irenaholc3990
      @irenaholc3990 8 років тому +1

      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.

    It would be inappropriate if I just pronounced jake gylenhall .... name correctly as he is celebrity and half of Swedish last names incorrectly ....so it's it's our moral duty to keep pronouncing celebrity names just the way they are written .

      Anna Engel Wrong! I just changed it for UA-cam 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
