FAQs
When your interlocutor mispronounces your name without malice and you're in a carefree environment, it's best to let it slip or, at most, correct it warmly. If they still get it wrong the second time, your name is either too complex or they just can't do it. Let it go, it's not that important, really.

Performers take on stage names if it better fits their stage persona or if they want a boundary between their professional and personal identities. Working professionally under one name while using a “regular name” at home helps some actors separate their working and private lives.
Because names are important elements of identity, having one's name regularly mispronounced can feel insulting or invalidating. People may decide to simplify their names or adopt new ones in order to fit in.
