Rob McElhenney has changed his name to Rob Mac, describing it as mainly a stage name. He expressed that the change was influenced by frustration over the pronunciation of his previous name. He emphasized that despite his heritage, his name has changed over generations and is not as ingrained as some believe. The name change aims to facilitate business expansion in South America, where his name is harder to say. McElhenney noted that most people already call him Rob Mac and that family support is what truly matters to him.
"Yes, I'm shortening my name to Rob Mac. Mostly a stage name, but I digress. Is it kinda douchey? Sure. But the amount of time that I have wasted trying to get people to either spell or say my name correctly is literally days of my life."
"Times have changed and most people already call me Rob Mac anyway. My family knows me and loves me regardless of how many syllables I have, and that's the only thing that I really care about. There are so many things going on in the world, and this is a silly one to continue to waste your time with."
"As our business and our storytelling is expanding into other regions of the world and other languages in which my name is even harder to pronounce, I'm just going by Rob Mac."
