Rob McElhenney is legally changing his name. Here’s why.

Say goodbye to Rob McElhenney — and hello to Rob Mac.

The “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia” star, 48, has filed to legally change his name to Rob Mac, a representative for the actor confirmed to USA TODAY on June 29.

The actor, who owns the soccer club Wrexham A.F.C. with Ryan Reynolds, previously revealed in an interview with Variety published in May that he was considering a name change. McElhenney said at the time that his last name is a frequent cause of confusion when he’s doing business as part of his company More Better Industries.

“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,” he told the outlet.
