Millie Bobby Brown recently surprised fans by revealing a little-known secret about her name: her real middle name isn’t actually “Bobby.” During an interview with *BuzzFeed UK* on Thursday, the 21-year-old *Stranger Things* star shared that her true middle name is Bonnie, not Bobby.
When asked why she made the switch, Brown humorously replied, “For s**ts and giggles,” adding with a laugh, “I’ve never told anyone that. You heard it here first!”
Her *Electric State* co-star Chris Pratt was equally surprised by the revelation, responding with a simple, “Oh, s**t!”
While Brown didn’t explicitly confirm the reason behind the name change, “Bobby” may have been a nod to her father, Robert “Bobby” Brown. This isn’t the first time the actress has altered her name.
In August 2024, Brown subtly confirmed that she had taken her husband Jake Bongiovi’s last name after their wedding earlier that year. While sharing behind-the-scenes photos from the set of *Stranger Things* Season 5, she included a shot of a blackboard with her full married name: “Millie Bobby Brown Bongiovi.”
The revelation adds a playful twist to the actress’s public persona, showcasing her lighthearted approach to fame and personal identity.
