We've all known Millie Bobby Brown since she appeared on our screens in her breakout role on Stranger Things, but did you know that's not her real name?

In a new interview alongside Chris Pratt with Buzzfeed UK published Thursday (March 6), the 21-year-old actress set the record straight on her actual moniker, revealing to her Electric State co-star that her real middle name is Bonnie.

"I've never told anyone that," she said. "You heard it here first!"

As for why she decided on the subtle change, Brown said she chose Bobby for "s---s and giggles" when she began pursuing acting. Bobby also appears to serve as a tribute to her father, Robert "Bobby" Brown, per Page Six.

That wasn't the last time the Enola Holmes actress had a major name change. Last year, she revealed that she officially added Bongiovi to her name after tying the knot with Jake Bongiovi, the 22-year-old son of rocker Jon Bon Jovi. The pair first got got married in a "private ceremony" in May 2024, just over a year after getting engaged following three years of dating. They held a second intimate ceremony in Italy in October.

Earlier this week, she seemingly debuted a tiny tattoo tribute to her husband during a stroll in London.
