Who are some historical figures and/or modern-day famous people whose names you mispronounce or find difficult to pronounce? They may be real or fictional.

I’m going to go way out on a limb here and venture to guess that it’s not Lupita Nyong’o to whom you‘re referring. Given your age and the fact that you said you’ve been pronouncing it correctly all your life; she didn’t rise to relative fame until a few years ago.
