It's a question that many JC readers are used to hearing - I know I automatically start to spell out my surname when I'm asked for my name - and one that even supposedly household names take in their stride.

Gal Gadot admitted in an interview for Variety with Big Sick star Kumail Nanjiani, that the question she gets asked all the time is: "how do you pronounce your name?"

The Wonder Woman actress bonded with Nanjiani over their shared experiences. “We’re both immigrants," he said. "We play immigrants in our movies.” 

As a result of this, Gadot added: “We both get asked all the time, ‘How do I pronounce your name?’”
