In the episode "The Wizard of Ooze," Beetlejuice actually says his own name for the first time. According to his curse, he is unable to do so. However, the episode is revealed to have been a dream sequence, which likely accounts for the discrepancy.
The studio was worried about the movie's success, especially because of its confusing title, as "Beetlejuice" is a play on Betelgeuse, the real spelling of the name of the bio-exorcist and the name of a star constellation. According to IndieWire, Warner Bros. begged Burton to change the name.
