Jeremy Hunt has urged broadcasters to “grow up” and stop calling him "Jeremy C***".
The Foreign Secretary has said people should "just get over” that his last name rhymes with the expletive.
Victoria Derbyshire became the latest in a string of journalists to make the blunder when she announced his name on her show on Tuesday. She immediately apologised.
In an interview with the Telegraph on their Brexit podcast, Mr Hunt told how he was often called "Jeremy C***" when he was a schoolboy.
"I'm used to it. I had this when I was at school," he said.
"Personally I think people should just grow up and get over the fact that my last name rhymes with a rather unpleasant word."
The latest incident took place when Ms Derbyshire was addressing Tory MP Steve Brine during her own weekday news and current affairs programme.
She said: "You say the man you are backing, Jeremy C***... I'm so sorry, Jeremy Hunt".
She then added: "I've never said that before in my life. It's normally men who say that so I really, really want to apologise."
Sky News reporter Thomas Moore has also previously made the error, while BBC journalists Justin Webb and James Naughtie have also been caught out.
Last week, while discussing Donald Trump's visit to the UK, Radio 5 Live presenter Nicky Campbell also made the blunder.
Mr Hunt came second in the first secret Tory leadership ballot on Thursday, securing 43 votes. Boris Johnson received 114.
