Rob McElhenney Is About to Make It Easier to Pronounce His Name
- Rob McElhenney, actor and producer known for Always Sunny in Philadelphia, legally filed to change his last name to Mac on June 27, 2024, in Los Angeles.
- He considered the change after genealogy research revealed multiple alterations in his surname and after years of fans and colleagues using the nickname 'Rob Mac' from his TV work.
- McElhenney's siblings, including his sister Katie Mac, supported the change, with his brother wanting to run for office as Pat Mac, while his wife Kaitlin Olson noted the children disapproved as they share the original last name.
- In May 2024, McElhenney told Variety, “It just makes things so much easier,” explaining the decision was to simplify pronunciation amid expanding global business ventures and storytelling efforts.
- The legal name change likely streamlines his public identity and ties into upcoming projects like Always Sunny's July 9 season premiere, reflecting his evolving career beyond acting into broader industry roles.
