Not even fame will help people pronounce your name.

7 Celebrity Names You've Totally Been Misprounoucing

Celebrities, they're just like us, even their names get mispronounced no matter how famous they are. It doesn't matter how common your name is or how many times you tell someone how to say it, someone, will always say it wrong. Here are seven celebrities who have the same problems that you and I have!

Chrissy Tiegen

Instagram

Recently on Twitter Tiegan announced that she has stopped trying to correct people but her last name is in fact pronounced "Tie-gen" and not "Tee-gen."

Timothée Chalamat

Instagram

You'd think that his name would be pronounced "Timo-TEE" but it's actually "Timo-TAY Sha-luh-MAY."

Ariana Grande

Instagram

Until recently on Twitter I wasn't aware that Ariana's name was anything but 'Granh-dey" but in a recent interview, she pronounced her name as "Grand-ee" so apparently my whole life is a lie.

Noah Centineo

Instagram

Noah is the new heartthrob on the scene but have you been pronouncing his name wrong? Apparently, it's "Cen-tin-A-o" and not "Cen-ten-KNEE-o."

Rihanna

Instagram

This one everyone does and I actually never hear anyone pronounce it the way it is supposed to be. It's "Ri-ANNA," not "Ri-YAWN-a"

Zendaya

Instagram

Similar to Rihanna, Zendaya has people pronounce her name wrong occasionally. "Zen-DAY-uh" is correct and "Zen-DIE-uh" is not.

Saoirse Ronan

Instagram

I've never been able to pronounce her name unless I look it up but all you have to do is ignore most of the letters in her first name. It's "SEER-sha"

If you have been following me for a long time, then you know I write about two main things: relateable articles and communication media based articles. Now, it is time for me to combine the two. For those of you that don't know, I am a radio DJ at IUP, and I DJ for a show called BPM (Beats Per Minute). It is an EDM, or electronic dance music, based show and I absolutely love it.

6 Things Owning A Cat Has Taught Me
Liz Abere

Owning a pet can get difficult and expensive. Sometimes, their vet bills cost hundreds of dollars just for one visit. On top of that, pets also need food, a wee wee pad for a dog, a litter box with litter for a cat, toys, and treats. Besides having to spend hundreds of dollars on them, they provide a great companion and are almost always there when you need to talk to someone. For the past six years, I have been the proud owner of my purebred Bengal cat named Spock. Although he's only seven years and four months old, he's taught me so much. Here's a few of the things that he has taught me.

It's fun to see all of the selfies on social media, they are everywhere. I see pictures with pouty lips, duck lips and pucker lips. I see smokey eyes, huge fake lashes and nicely done nose jobs, boob jobs and butt lifts. Women working out in spandex, tiny tops and flip flops. I see tight abs and firm butts, manicured nails and toes, up dos and flowing hair. "Wow", I think to myself," I could apply tons of make-up, spend an hour on my hair, pose all day and not look like that. Maybe I need a longer stick!"
