You said Chrissy Teigen's name, but do not expect her to correct you

Remember this feeling when you discovered the actual pronunciation of Ariana Grande's last name? Get ready to fall in love again because Chrissy Teigen has just dropped the truth about her last name on Twitter. S & rsquo; proves, everyone said Teigen's last name is wrong. On Sunday night, she tweeted that the good pronunciation was done with a long "i" and not a long "e" – so it looks like "Tie-gen" instead of "Tee-gen". This shocking revelation can make you feel lost and confused. Fortunately, Teigen has provided fun comments to help fans navigate this new world.

This revelation took place after someone on Twitter shared how she had discovered how Pronounce the surname Grande. During an interview in August with Beats 1, Grande declared her last name and declared it "Gran-dee" as opposed to "Grahn-day". Grande explained that her brother had decided to pronounce his last name as the most flashy "Grahn-day", while his grandfather always said "Gran-dee".

Someone & # 39; a retweeted the post on Grande and wrote, "Do you know how innocent you must be to allow a world to pronounce a bad family name for life and just go?" so, someone else retweeted and wrote: "Well we pronounce the name @ chrissyteigen evil All the time. "What did Teigen answer," word! abandoned a long time ago. the family name is tie-gen not tee-gen. "

But as with Grande, there is a reason why the public has never known that. A A Twitter user replied to Teigen"But wait … when you say it, you say tee-gen!" Teigen responded and admitted that she did not help the confusion. "I know, I even correct people when they say it correctly, everything is erased," she wrote.

Teigen already talked about her last name when she explained why she chose to keep her name rather than taking John Legend's last name. (Spoiler alert: "Legend" is a stage name, there's all.) But this time she wrote that it's only a simple case of it does not correct people. "I never fix people, they can call me Janet and I will not do it, bad order, I'm going to eat it, taxi to the wrong airport, I'll change my flight." If you are surprised to hear that considering how she expresses it, explains Teigen"I do not correct people but I do not know if I'm so tired, let me go." And clearly, even though she is not afraid to criticize Donald Trump, she has not tried to tell people how to say her last name correctly.

If you think she's lying about her last name, she has used her services. Teigen called on her mother Vilailuck – who lives with Teigen and Legend -. Vilailuck has proven that social media prowess unfolds in the family with his pepperthai2 Instagram account. And when Teigen says in the video below: "I'm tired of living this lie.It is" Tie-gen ".Is not it mom?" Vilailuck simply and hilariously answers the kitchen : "Yeah!"

However, Teigen's last name actually comes from his father, Ron Teigen. (As Weekly reported, Teigen confirmed that her parents are still married, but her father lives only 10 minutes from home.) While Vilailuck is Thai, the name Teigen is Norwegian. Ancestry.com has that Teigen comes from the old Norse word teigr, which means "strip of land". Ancestry also notes how a similar last name is "Eiken", which helps to demonstrate how the "ei" should be pronounced as "i" and not "ee".

As Teigen is an established celebrity, the world will probably continue to call it "Tee-gen". After all, the model, the mother, the host, the lawyer, and the author encouraged the incorrect pronunciation. But it will be interesting to see on the Emmys red carpet if any of the commentators take notice of this named bomb. And no matter how you pronounce it, Teigen has proven that even if people do not say that you're calling yourself correctly, that should not stop you from living your best life.
