A character walks another through the correct way to say their name. Names that get this treatment include a common name with a less common pronunciation or multiple ways to correctly say it, such as Tara or Andrea; a name derived from another language than the one used in the work (like a Czech name in a work that's in English) that would trip up a layperson; and a name from a conlang or one that's otherwise totally made up. Other characters might react to the explanation with accusations of poshness ("You're saying your own name this way just to sound fancy") or with Who Names Their Kid "Dude"?. Someone who still gets it wrong might just be forgetful or ditzy. However, the term might be genuinely difficult for them to say, if it uses phonemes that are rare or nonexistent in their native language. A malicious character will pronounce the name incorrectly despite the explanation. In comedic works, a character having to repeatedly correct others can become a Running Gag. This trope is useful out-of-universe because now the audience also knows the correct pronunciation without having to guess or seek supplementary material. May overlap with Accidental Misnaming and Accent Upon The Wrong Syllable. This may or may not prevent Viewer Pronunciation Confusion. Examples are limited to personal names, clarified by the name's owner or someone close. Other proper nouns such as locations often have You Say Tomato in play, while someone should reasonably know their own name better than anyone else. This is not just about people's names being mispronounced — the correct pronunciation has to be clarified on-screen. The audience's opinion of what is correct is irrelevant. |

In Pokemon Opal And Garnet, Kaylie's Touceet Clopin (named after that Clopin) gets his name continually mispronounced as "klop-pin," with English pronunciation. Clopin is always quick to correct them with the (correct) French pronunciation, "kloh-PAH~n," which ends in a French nasal vowel. Since so many Pokémon have trouble with said nasal vowel, he'll usually accept "kloh-PAH (without the nasality)," but also tell them exactly how the nasal vowel is supposed to be pronounced: | |

Discworld: In Hogfather, Jonathan Teatime pronounces his last name for someone ("Te-ah-tim-eh") in his first appearance. It gets mispronounced throughout the book, which he finds a bit annoying. In Going Postal, even when confronted with a determined golem parole officer, Moist von Lipwig (a Meaningful Name if pronounced as spelled, since he's known for wearing false mustaches) can muster enough righteous indignation to remind said golem parole officer that his name is pronounced "Lipvig" with a V. |

DROELOE is pronounced “drew-lou� or “drü-lü,� not “dro-low.� (It means “wasted� in Dutch.) The most common English pronunciation of it is the latter, though, and it’s enough of a misconception that they’ve made shirts with “Pronounced Drew-Lou� on them. | |

Milla confirms that the actual pronunciation is "Mi-LA" (short for "Camilla"). However, she also accepts the "Mi-YA" pronunciation most people use, because on her first official day as a Psychonaut, that was the pronunciation Sasha Nein used, and she thought it was so cute that she didn't correct him. | |

In Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Hermione pronounces her name correctly for Viktor Krum, a foreign student, as he's unfamiliar with it. Author J. K. Rowling wrote this in because many fans pronounced the name incorrectly, though this became rather less of a problem once the films started releasing. (Goblet of Fire having been released a little less than a year-and-a-half before the first film.) | |

Deltarune: In the first chapter, Seam explains to Kris that their name is pronounced "Shawm" (similarly to Sean). They follow that up with, "And this is my little Seap" ("Shop"). In chapter 2, Rouxls Kaard clarifies that his first name is, in fact, pronounced "Rules". The music that plays during the simultaneous battle and game of "Houses" near the end of the castle is itself called "It's Pronounced "Rules"". Further hinted at when Rouxls becomes a part of the player's inventory at the start of the chapter, becoming a literal "Rules Card". |

Orson Scott Card does this in both Ender's Game and Ender's Shadow. In Ender's Game, Ender is taught to pronounce Bonzo's name with a long O sound; in Ender's Shadow, Sister Carlotta verbally points out that Achilles' name is pronounced the French way. (The latter enables her to infer that the person speaking to her learned Achilles' name by reading it, not hearing it.) | |

Saturday Night Live: One sketch has Jon Hamm and singer Michael Bublé doing a TV spot for their new restaurant that serves "fine pork dishes and sparkling Champagne", Hamm & Bublé, the latter of which Jon pronounces like "bubbly". Michael corrects him: "Actually, it's pronounced BOO-blay," but Jon counters, "Well, Boo-blay doesn't work, so now it's pronounced Buh-blee." In a Shout-Out to Liza Minnelli, Saoirse Ronan's monologue has her sing the correct pronunciation of her first name to the audience. People still pronounce it like "Cersei." Then Beck Bennett jumps in to clarify how his name is pronounced, even though nobody was confused about it. Easily mangled or ridiculed names were the whole basis of the "Baby Names" sketch, from September 26, 1992; at the end of the sketch, the father-to-be (Nicholas Cage) turns out to be named "Asswipe Johnson," pronounced "Os-wee-pay." |

Obi-Wan is mortified at first to hear he's been mangling his lover's name this whole time, but Cody actually likes the sound of it and prefers that Obi-Wan pronounce it the "wrong" way as a sort of pet name.

We Are All Pokémon Trainers: It's Colton Kendall REE-vuhr (rhymes with fever), and after being subject to this herself from Kamui (and given her linguistic propensity), Kimberly Bond is not going to let anyone forget it. If she's not there, then Kendall himself is usually the one to do it for them— but only when asked. Laurie Hitoki's Sandslash, D'Autry, mispronounced his last name as "Reh-VAY" (as in the French word for "to dream"— he's fluent in Kalosian but not in English in terms of reading), and after being asked for the correct pronunciation... In response, Hetfield the Beldum— ever The Perfectionist— points out that due to the English language's orthographies, anyone who saw the name "Rever" first would likely pronounce it like "never" (unless they got lucky) and anyone who heard the name first would spell it with an A. He then insists that Kendall should do the easy thing and smack the front of the Prax Obscura with a pronunciation guide (despite Kendall's desire not to do so). |
