Demi Moore Reveals ‘Correct’ Surprising Way To Pronounce Her Name

Over the years, fans and industry colleagues have mispronounced Demi Moore’s name without realizing it. The 62-year-old iconic actress recently cleared the air during her appearance on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, and the unexpected revelation has since sparked conversation online.

Moore candidly explained that most people have been saying her name wrong all along even though she never bothered to correct them too often. Teaching the show host Jimmy Fallon and the audience how to pronounce her name correctly was the highlight of the episode.

How to pronounce Demi Moore’s name

In her interview, Demi Moore explained that the proper way to pronounce her first name is “Duh-MEE” — not the more commonly used “Demi.” While chatting with Jimmy Fallon, she shared how this unique way of saying her name feels more harmonious with her last name. Interestingly, Moore explained that her name is pronounced similarly to Demi Lovato’s by their families.

Both stars have intentionally settled for different pronunciations of their name for personal and professional reasons, though Moore has addressed the issue of her first name getting mispronounced before now. After her recent interview with Fallon, a resurfaced 2017 clip from The Tonight Show shows her elaborating on the topic.

Another user said she was so real for opening up, while others joked about the connection between Moore and Lovato. “They look so alike they should be playing mother and daughter in films,” one fan pointed out. Fans reacted with a mix of amusement and fascination, with many expressing newfound respect for the actress’s preference.
