Say these names out loud. If you said, “SAY-or-see”, “Ree-AH-nuh,” “EE-va,” and/or any combination of “Buh-SHEE-mee,” “BOO-shuh-mee” or “Boo-‘scheme’-ee,” get out! No, no, just kidding, you definitely need to stay … because, unfortunately, you are butchering the exquisite pronunciation of these celebrity names. Here’s an A–Z guide to making those hard-to-pronounce names roll off the tongue like …”Will Smith.”

Stop saying: SEE-free-d, start saying: “SIGH-frid”

Stop saying: CARE-uh Dee-lee-VING-nee (this is horribly wrong). Start saying: CAR-uh Del-uh-veen. The British supermodel was born in London but her last name (from her father) is French. Très chic. Stop saying: Chee-WEE-tell EDGE-ee-oafer. Start saying: CHEW-ih-tell Edge-EE-uh-for

The star of 12 Years a Slave has always had to correct people’s pronunciation of his name. One of his nicknames at school was “Duracell” — Chiwetel says it was a fun “on-purpose” mispronunciation.

KLO-ee, isn’t the culprit here. But for the last name … Stop saying: Suh-VAY-nee, start saying: Sev-uh-nee.

Stop saying: TEE-gehn. Start saying: TIE-gehn

Stop saying: Oh-yee-loh-woo. Start saying: Oh-YEH-luh-whoa. Anyone who plays the role of Martin Luther King, Jr. (in the 2014 film Selma) deserves accurate pronunciation.

Stop saying: Dom-nall. Stop trying to be fancy: Dom-HH-nall, Dom-HHUH-nuhl. Start saying: DOH-nuhl.

Stop saying: Guh-DOUGH. Start saying: Guh-DOT. Translated from Hebrew (Gal is Israeli), the actresses’s full name means “wave riverbanks.” So basically Gal is both Wonder Woman and Mother Nature, and she’s kind of the most powerful woman on earth.

Stop saying: “the actor from 12 Years a Slave,” “the actor from Black Panther.” Start saying: Loo-peet-ah nYON-go. With an international pedigree, the movie star (and also People Magazine’s Most Beautiful Person in 2014) anticipated people would stumble over her Mexican-Kenyan name. The name “Lupita” pays tribute to the actress’s birthplace in Mexico City, Mexico. Her last name comes from her Kenyan parents.

Stop saying: Wah-sih-COW-skee. Start saying: MEE-uh VAH-shee-KOF-ska or Vash-KOV-ska. Mia’s name can be pronounced a couple ways: either with correct Polish articulation of each syllable (VAH-shee-KOF-ska) or with “fake-it” Polish fluency condensing four syllables to three (Vash-KOV-ska).

Stop saying: Say-OR-see, See-OR-say. Start saying: SIR-shuh Roh-nun. It’s not “sheesha,” “see-saw,” “say or see,” or “see or say.” It’s SIR-shuh. The star of Lady Bird is kin to Domhnall Gleeson in that her name is also Irish and also has letter combinations that make no sense in English. Saiorse means “freedom” FYI.

Stop saying: Buh-SHEEM-ee, start saying: Boo-SEM-ee. In a comedy show interview, Steve Buscemi appreciated being introduced correctly (“Boo-SEM-ee”), but he also admitted Boo-SHEM-ee works, too.

Maybe not exactly stop saying: TIM-uh-thee. Definitely stop saying: Cha-luh-MEHT (for shame!). Start saying: Timo-TAY Sha-luh-MAY. Ok, is it TIM-uh-thee or Timo-TAY? Don’t get your briefs in a bunch over this one. Both pronunciations are correct, according to the Beautiful Boy actor.

Stop saying: Zoh-sha (but, hang on a sec) or Zoh-see-uh, or Mam-EH. Start saying: ZA-sha MAM-eht.

Did you mean DB?
