OK, experiment time: Do me a favor and say Raven-Symoné’s name out loud right now. Just do it.
Did you do it? Good. Now, I have some bad news for you: You probably just said her name totally wrong.
“Yo, that’s Raven-Symoné,” the video’s text reads, before following up, “It’s pronounced See-mon-ye.”
The TikTok also features audio of someone saying, “Shut up, it is not,” while Raven silently mouths, “Yes, it is.”
If your mind is blown, you’re not alone — and some fans even questioned if Raven had led us down the wrong path for years before this revelation.
Indeed, multiple comments on Raven’s TikTok accused her of pronouncing her own name “wrong” back in her Disney Channel days.
Someone else pointed out that RuPaul correctly said her name (most likely, when she was a guest judge on Drag Race All Stars) and she confirmed that was the right pronounciation.
Either way, now we know the right way to say Raven-Symoné’s name — so no excuses in the future, Disney Channel or not!
