Her name has been a familiar sound to Australian audiences since she began appearing on Neighbours as a child.
But chances are you have probably been saying Caitlin Stasey’s name wrong, with the proper pronunciation of her name vastly different to how it is said by Australian and US audiences.
An Australian Irish culture organisation told Mamamia on Friday the correct pronunciation was ‘Kat-leen’ as opposed to ‘Kate-lyn’.
Have YOU been saying it right? The proper pronunciation of Caitlin Stasey’s name revealed
A spokesperson for Irish cultural organisation The Aisling Society of Sydney explained that Caitlin should be pronounced with a ‘flatter’ Irish ‘a’ sound.
Mamamia reports that it is likely that Caitlin began being pronounced ‘Kate-lyn’ due to the rise in popularity of the name in US pop culture during the 1980s.
Meanwhile earlier this month Caitlin posed topless on Instagram, protesting the social media platform’s stance on nudity.
Sharing a photo of her on a inflatable flamingo, the Reign star questioned why ‘Instagram deletes certain tits’.

Taking to Instagram on Friday, Caitlin shared a snap of her wearing just bikini bottoms as she relaxed in a pool.
Lying on an inflatable flamingo, the actress used star emojis to cover up her ample chest.
In the caption, Cailtin rallied against Instagram’s rules around nudity, which she claimed was selective.

‘I think it’s unfair that @INSTAGRAM deletes certain tits based on levels of engagement – there shouldn’t be a hierarchy of body parts,’ she wrote.
However Caitlin acknowledged that there were more important things she wanted to campaign about at present.
‘The world is falling apart in real ways that hurt real people in real time and I just can’t really justify railing against this particular brand of censorship rn (sic),’ she explained.

‘I still think it’s bulls**t but I guess it’s also bulls**t for me to take advantage of any leniency they’ve shown me.’
In the past Caitlin has frequently shared topless or scantily clad photos of herself to protest social media rules about nudity.
However last November she turned her attention to another issue; ‘discriminatory’ jeans.
Protested: In a lengthy video shared on Instagram, Caitlin claimed manufacturers made allowances for male genitalia but not for women’s private parts.

‘I do feel like it’s a bit discriminatory, because, like, they make allowances for men’s genitalia, but women’s jeans do not,’ she said.
In a second clip, she revealed: ‘I personally don’t mind [the camel toe look], but it is like [motioning towards her crotch], unmistakable.’
