Millie Bobby Brown real name: Actress reveals she officially changed her name after marrying Jake Bongiovi


She’s not Millie Bobby Brown anymore. 

The 21-year-old star of the Stranger Things franchise has officially changed her name, but turns out there’s one detail that she changed long before getting married. 

During an interview with VT Brown and her co-star Noah Schnapp were quizzed about how well they know each other, which is where the name revelations happened.

“Noah [Schnapp], what is Millie’s full name?” the interviewer asked the 21-year-old. 

Schnapp revealed that her name is Millie Bonnie Brown. 

Now, for many, the ‘Bonnie’ not ‘Bobby’ was new, however Brown pointed out that it wasn’t correct and she had changed her name after tying the knot with Jake Bongiovi.

“Millie Bonnie Bongiovi Brown,” Schnapp guessed again.

Brown corrected him again and told her to just “drop” the Brown. 

“Drop the Bobby [and] drop the Brown. It’s just Millie Bonnie Bongiovi,” she explained. “That’s it.”

It’s no surprise that she’s changed her name since getting married, but the revelation that her middle name isn’t Bobby is a new one. 

In March the Enola Holmes actress explained that it was just a stage name, which she told BuzzFeed UK she had changed for “shits and giggles” when her career first started. 

“My middle name is Bonnie,” she told the publication. 

“There’s no Bobby, it’s Millie Bonnie Brown.”
