The actress said she answers to all versions of her name – including "Kristen" and "Ker-sten" – though "Keer-sten" is the proper pronunciation.
"I don't blame people. Like, in England, they don't really say my name right," Dunst said.
Even coworkers have gotten it wrong.
"The last set, everyone was saying my name wrong," she said.
"There was, like, Swedish people and people from Hungary. You just give up."
Dunst has previously dropped a clue, saying in interviews that her nickname is "Kiki", originating from when she was a child and couldn't pronounce her full name.

"People get confused with how to pronounce my name because of the drink mezcal," he said, explaining his name has a softer 's' and 'a' than the popular spirit.
"Everybody does it. I pronounce it 'Mescal' and I wonder if I launched a tequila line I would have to, I would call it 'Mescal's Mezcal.' I'm on the fence."
