Sometimes our jobs here at OKMagazine.com are really difficult because it requires us to spell check celebrities' names before we write about them. Seriously though, can't the famous people make it easy on us? Here's 15 stars whose hard-to-spell first and/or last names trip us up every darn time, from McConaughey to Giudice to Keibler.
Stacy Keibler
!['C Mademoiselle' Paris Premiere](https://media.okmagazine.com/brand-img/-iY4KvbOS/375x500/2014/02/stacy-keibler-black-dress.jpg 375w)
Stacy Keibler's first and last names could both be misspelled so many ways, but we're going to guess that Stacey Kiebler and Stacey Keebler are probably the most commonly used errors. Right?
Matthew McConaughey
![Matthew mcconaughey dallas buyers club premiere](https://media.okmagazine.com/brand-img/AH3OuMITc/334x499/2014/01/matthew-mcconaughey-dallas-buyers-club-premiere.jpg 334w)
He's been in the biz forever, but even established movie fans probably mess up the spelling of Matthew McConaughey's last name once in a while. It happens to the best of us.
Courteney Cox
![Courteney cox cougar town](https://media.okmagazine.com/brand-img/-cFmcSe8g/375x500/2014/02/courteney-cox-cougar-town.jpg 375w)
Not to be confused with Kourtney Kardashian or Courtney Love, Courteney Cox spells her first name with an "E" plopped right in the middle. But WHY?!
Will Ferrell
![Will ferrell august3 1.jpg](https://media.okmagazine.com/brand-img/5zEGKzhPo/375x500/2012/08/will-ferrell-august3-1.jpg 375w)
This is probably the expression that Will Ferrell makes every time someone spells his last name "Ferell." We apologize! Really. So sorry.
Giuliana Rancic
![Giuliana Rancic](https://media.okmagazine.com/brand-img/8pvBGam8x/375x500/2013/09/giuliana-rancic.jpg 375w)
We can't be the only ones who sometimes misspell Giuliana Rancic's name by putting the "U" before the "I" or adding an extra "N" in there. Guilianna still looks pretty legit to us...
Teresa Giudice
![Teresa joe giudice indicted](https://media.okmagazine.com/brand-img/QC4kY7JQb/465x500/2013/11/teresa-joe-giudice-indicted.jpg 465w)
And fellow italian and RHONJ stars Teresa and Joe Giudice's name gives us the same headache. Is it Giudice? Guidice? Ugh, we give up.
Maksim Chmerkovskiy
![Mainmaksim_chmerkovskiy.jpg](https://media.okmagazine.com/brand-img/TT9oGxvTT/375x500/2012/09/mainmaksim_chmerkovskiy.jpg 375w)
Maksim Chmerkovskiy—who just announced that he's returning to Dancing With The Stars—is lucky he's good-looking. Otherwise, girls would just give up on dating him because, honestly, noone wants Chmerkovskiy as their surname.
Scarlett Johansson
![Scarlett johansson great gatsby.jpg](https://media.okmagazine.com/brand-img/0gMOYkTi2/396x500/2013/05/scarlett-johansson-great-gatsby.jpg 396w)
Scarlett Johansson's name is just as gorgeous as she is, but it's so freakin' difficult to write! It's one H, one N and two S's, for future reference.
Cara Delevingne
![Cara Delevigne](https://media.okmagazine.com/brand-img/_Ly3UfC53/332x499/2013/11/cara-delevigne.jpg 332w)
It wouldn't have been the worst thing if model Cara Delevingne decided to give herself a stage name. Even shortening the complicated last name to "Levingne" would've still confused us, but not quite as much.
Shia Labeouf
![Ok_040513 shia labeouf the company you keep.jpg](https://media.okmagazine.com/brand-img/1EWWKQHS7/396x500/2013/04/ok_040513-shia-labeouf-the-company-you-keep.jpg 396w)
Phonetically speaking, Shia LaBeouf's last name should be spelled Labuff. This is just common courtesy.
Lea Michele
![X factor lea michele](https://media.okmagazine.com/brand-img/Er-FLrczG/480x372/2013/12/x-factor-lea-michele.png 480w, https://media.okmagazine.com/brand-img/Er-FLrczG/640x495/2013/12/x-factor-lea-michele.png 640w, https://media.okmagazine.com/brand-img/Er-FLrczG/768x594/2013/12/x-factor-lea-michele.png 768w, https://media.okmagazine.com/brand-img/Er-FLrczG/1024x792/2013/12/x-factor-lea-michele.png 1024w, https://media.okmagazine.com/brand-img/Er-FLrczG/1280x990/2013/12/x-factor-lea-michele.png 1280w, https://media.okmagazine.com/brand-img/Er-FLrczG/1440x1114/2013/12/x-factor-lea-michele.png 1440w, https://media.okmagazine.com/brand-img/Er-FLrczG/1600x1238/2013/12/x-factor-lea-michele.png 1600w, https://media.okmagazine.com/brand-img/Er-FLrczG/2160x1671/2013/12/x-factor-lea-michele.png 2160w)
Lea Michele's real last name is Sarfati so thanks, Lea, for not complicating our lives more with that one. But her stage last name, Michele, really needs another "L" in there. It trips us up every time.
Malin Akerman
![Malin Akerman Emmys 2](https://media.okmagazine.com/brand-img/bUg4xP85g/384x500/2013/09/malin-akerman-emmys-2.jpg 384w)
Pronouncing Malin Akerman's first name is hard—it's technically "MAHL-in"—but spelling her last name is nearly impossible. Why the heck isn't there a "C" after the "A"?!
Jake Gyllenhaal
![Jake gyllenhaal inside actors studio](https://media.okmagazine.com/brand-img/EMLv5UEYT/480x313/2013/09/jake-gyllenhaal-inside-actors-studio.jpg 480w, https://media.okmagazine.com/brand-img/EMLv5UEYT/640x418/2013/09/jake-gyllenhaal-inside-actors-studio.jpg 640w, https://media.okmagazine.com/brand-img/EMLv5UEYT/768x501/2013/09/jake-gyllenhaal-inside-actors-studio.jpg 768w, https://media.okmagazine.com/brand-img/EMLv5UEYT/1024x668/2013/09/jake-gyllenhaal-inside-actors-studio.jpg 1024w, https://media.okmagazine.com/brand-img/EMLv5UEYT/1280x835/2013/09/jake-gyllenhaal-inside-actors-studio.jpg 1280w, https://media.okmagazine.com/brand-img/EMLv5UEYT/1440x939/2013/09/jake-gyllenhaal-inside-actors-studio.jpg 1440w, https://media.okmagazine.com/brand-img/EMLv5UEYT/1600x1043/2013/09/jake-gyllenhaal-inside-actors-studio.jpg 1600w, https://media.okmagazine.com/brand-img/EMLv5UEYT/2160x1408/2013/09/jake-gyllenhaal-inside-actors-studio.jpg 2160w)
Maggie and Jake Gyllenhaal probably grew up with kids and teachers having a hard time pronouncing and spelling their last name. Now they're adults, and people still can't freakin' get it straight.
Hayden Panettiere
![Hayden](https://media.okmagazine.com/brand-img/yRICiVEk1/332x500/2013/10/hayden.jpg 332w)
Hayden Panettiere's last name is gorgeous, but it is IMPOSSIBLE to write without googling it first for spell-check purposes. Guaranteed.
Zach Galifianakis
![Zach galifianakis star](https://media.okmagazine.com/brand-img/atYiuD0Nc/480x231/2013/10/zach-galifianakis-star.gif 480w, https://media.okmagazine.com/brand-img/atYiuD0Nc/640x308/2013/10/zach-galifianakis-star.gif 640w, https://media.okmagazine.com/brand-img/atYiuD0Nc/768x369/2013/10/zach-galifianakis-star.gif 768w, https://media.okmagazine.com/brand-img/atYiuD0Nc/1024x492/2013/10/zach-galifianakis-star.gif 1024w, https://media.okmagazine.com/brand-img/atYiuD0Nc/1280x615/2013/10/zach-galifianakis-star.gif 1280w, https://media.okmagazine.com/brand-img/atYiuD0Nc/1440x692/2013/10/zach-galifianakis-star.gif 1440w, https://media.okmagazine.com/brand-img/atYiuD0Nc/1600x768/2013/10/zach-galifianakis-star.gif 1600w, https://media.okmagazine.com/brand-img/atYiuD0Nc/2160x1037/2013/10/zach-galifianakis-star.gif 2160w)
It's confusing enough that Zach Galifianakis spells his first name with a "CH" instead of like "Zac" or "Zack." But his last name? We won't even attempt it.
Kristin Cavallari
![Pregnant Kristin Cavallari Presents Footwear Collection At MAGIC Market Week](https://media.okmagazine.com/brand-img/jXeL8c8Lg/375x500/2014/02/kristin-cavallari-pregnant.jpg 375w)
Kristin Cavallari had to go and be all different by spelling her first name with an "I" instead of an "E" like Kristen Stewart, Bell, and Wiig? We're taking a trip to Laguna Beach to yell at her parents.
Quvenzhane Wallis
![Ok_41413_quvenzhane_wallis_ _1.jpg](https://media.okmagazine.com/brand-img/lbunbnfZY/343x500/2013/04/ok_41413_quvenzhane_wallis_-_1.jpg 343w)
Quvenzhane Wallis—Just no.
