THE EXPLANATION
McElhenney has explained that the change is to make his name more accessible to potential foreign business partners. As he continues to do business in South America, he believes his multi-syllabic name could cause issues.
He told Variety: “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.”
