Top Ten Celebrity Names that are Hardest to Pronounce
Have you ever avoided getting into a conversation about certain celebrities because you couldn't pronounce their name and fear you'll be laughed at if you knot your tongue when when trying to say it but failing miserably? I can't be alone in this.Here are ten famous names I have the most trouble with. If you know of anymore, feel free to add.
Arnold Alois Schwarzenegger is an Austrian-American actor, filmmaker, businessman, investor, author, philanthropist, activist, former professional bodybuilder and former politician. Probably the most mispronounced name in celebrity land. I just cannot say it! No problem with saying Arnold ot Arnie but "Schwarz..." whatever it is I can't say it and usually end up saying "Arnie Thingy" or "You know...that big man."
I know how to pronounce it, but I agree.
I'm gonna say the N-word.
DON'T!
Arnold Scwarzenegger.
Phew.
I agree haha
Famke Beumer Janssen is a Dutch actress, director, screenwriter and former fashion model. She played Xenia Onatopp in GoldenEye, Jean Grey / Phoenix in the X-Men film series, Ava Moore on Nip/Tuck and Lenore Mills in the Taken film trilogy. What I don't even know either name first or last

Milo Yiannopoulos, or pen name Milo Andreas Wagner, is a British polemicist, political commentator, public speaker and writer. Yiannopoulos is a former senior editor for Breitbart News, who describes himself as a "cultural libertarian". I usually pronounce it Yian-apolis.
