How You're Pronouncing It: Zoo-ee Desh-ah-nel How It's Really Pronounced: Zoh-ee Day-shuh-nell The quirky Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy actress, Zooey Deschanel, is tired of people confusing her for Katy Perry and mispronouncing her name, but we'll focus on the latter for now. I was named after (the J.D. Salinger novel) Franny and Zooey, she said when asked to explain her name. My last name is French. She's also stated that unlike the character, her name is actually pronounced with a single "o".
