Millie Bobby Brown has changed her name
During a new interview, the actress, 21, confirmed that she no longer goes by Millie Bobby Brown, the stage name she's gone by since her debut in Stranger Things a decade ago
The name change comes over a year after she married Jake Bongiovi
Millie Bobby Brown is no longer.
The actress, 21, married Jake Bongiovi in May 2024, and has now revealed that she's changed her name to take on her husband's.
In an interview with VT, her Stranger Things costar and BFF, Noah Schnapp, was asked what Millie's full name is, and he got it wrong a few times before she corrected him.
At first, Schnapp, 21, said her full name is Millie Bonnie Brown, but she then pointed out that things had changed, to which he thought she meant she'd added a Bongiovi to the end, making her name Millie Bonnie Brown Bongiovi.
His next guess was Millie Bonnie Bobby Bongiovi Brown, but that wasn't quite right either.

"Drop the Bobby, drop the Brown," she told him before revealing what her name is now. "It's just Millie Bonnie Bongiovi."
Referencing the repeated sounds in her second and third name, the actress joked that she can now go by "Millie Bon Bon."
Earlier this year, the actress revealed that, although she's always gone by Millie Bobby Brown, that wasn't her actual name either.
In an interview with BuzzFeed UK, she told her Electric State costar Chris Pratt that her middle name is actually Bonnie, not Bobby, making her name Millie Bonnie Brown. "I've never told anyone that," she said.
She'd decided to go by Millie Bobby Brown instead, she said, "for s--- - and giggles."

The actress married the son of Jon Bon Jovi after three years of dating — first in an intimate ceremony and then in a larger celebration in Italy — and the couple has since welcomed their first child together.
In August, they revealed in a joint Instagram post that they had welcomed a daughter via adoption as they asked fans for "peace and privacy" in their new chapter.
She told British Vogue that parenthood so far has been a "beautiful, amazing journey" and that their daughter — whose name they do not plan to reveal — has "taught us so much already."
"Our days are filled with lots of cuddles and laughter and love. It's just endless joy," she said, calling her husband "the most amazing dad."
