Two-time Oscar winner Emma Stone said it would be "so nice" if people would call her by her real name: Emily.

In an interview with her "The Curse" co-star, Nathan Fielder, Stone told The Hollywood Reporter that she prefers her given name.

Asked if she would correct a fan who approached her and called her Emily, Stone said: "No. That would be so nice. I would like to be Emily."

Stone, who won Oscars for best actress for her performances in 2016's "La La Land" and last year's "Poor Things," said people in the film industry who know her often call her Emily.

"When I get to know them, people that I work with do. It's just because my name was taken" by another actress in the Screen Actors Guild, she noted.

"Then I freaked out a couple of years ago. For some reason, I was like, 'I can't do it anymore. Just call me Emily.'

Nathan "calls me Em, which is easier," she added.
