That's how Frederick Austerlitz became Fred Astaire and Patricia Mae Andrzejewski became Pat Benatar. The following names bother the hell out of me. I say we band together and FORCE them to change!

• Zeljko Ivanek - a total "hey, it's that guy!" The man is in everything.
• Cobie Smulders - Robin from "How I Met Your Mother." I can take Cobie or Smulders, but not both.
• Mariska Hargitay - I keep wanting to say Hartigay. Her name is like pig latin or something.
