Do you know of any celebrities whose names are frequently said incorrectly?

I've gotten into arguments that the late actor Christopher Reeve was indeed "Reeve" and not "Reeves."

    Gwyneth Paltrow. People always want to call her "Gwen-eth."

    Wow, that's interesting. He doesn't strike me that way but who knows what people are like? It's not like I knew him or anything.

    Did I get it right? - - like with an another spelling, maybe, Ree-ANNE-uh? I was unsure on how to pronounce "AN," sorry. This post was edited by WelbyQuentin at August 12, 2018 11:50 PM MDT

    IMO both spellings equal the same sound...

    Thanks, Beans/SilentGeneration for helping me! I'm not so good at phonetic spellings and I appreciate your help.

    I've always heard it said correctly. Unless someone is intentionally saying it a different way for some specific reason.

    I was thinking the same thing. In my question I was thinking more of people actually saying names incorrectly but the people were unaware of doing it. I didn't make that clear in my question, though.

    No, but I don't pay attention to them.  I did recently learn that Angela Merkel's name is pronounced Ahngala rather than the way we pronounce it here, Anjela.

    Thanks, Thriftymaid. I regret I don't even know who the person is. I've been out of it lately, though.

    EDIT: Oh, my, forgive me. Just seconds after posting my comment, I looked her up. Geez -- yes, I know who she is. This post was edited by WelbyQuentin at August 13, 2018 10:10 PM MDT
