Millie Bobby Brown has a new name one year after getting married.
The Stranger Things star, 21, tied the knot with Jon Bon Jovi’s son, Jake Bongiovi, and later announced in August that they had adopted a baby girl, describing motherhood as a ‘beautiful, amazing journey’.
In a new interview with VT alongside her co-star Noah Schnapp, who plays Will Byers in the hit Netflix series, the actress shared that she is no longer named Millie Bobby Brown.
Noah, 21, was asked if he knew Millie’s full name, to which he responded: ‘It’s Millie Bonnie Brown.’
But the actress interrupted and stated: ‘Well, now…,’ which prompted a back and forth debate. Noah quickly amended with, ‘Millie Bonnie Brown Bongiovi,’ before also including Bobby. Millie corrected him and explained, ‘No Bobby. Start again.’
Noah then suggested she’s named Millie Bonnie Brown, but was stopped when the actress added, ‘Drop the Brown.’

‘It’s just Millie Bonnie Bongiovi,’ she clarified, joking that the name could be shortened to ‘Millie Bon Bon’.
Earlier this year the actress revealed her real name for the first time.
‘My middle name is Bonnie,’ she told Chris Pratt during promotion for their Netflix movie The Electric State, who replied incredulously: ‘Millie Bobby Bonnie Brown?’
She clarified, telling Pratt and BuzzFeed UK: ‘No, it’s not Bobby. It’s Millie Bonnie Brown. I’ve never told anyone that. You heard it here first.’
As surprised as the rest of us, Pratt questioned: ‘Your middle name is Bonnie… but you changed to Bobby for…?’
She joked, ‘Just for s***s and giggles,’ before telling Pratt that she’d made the decision for her stage name, thinking Bobby was more unique than Bonnie.
Earlier this year Millie and Jake confirmed the news of their new family addition in a joint statement on social media in August, sending us all into a spin.
‘This summer, we welcomed our sweet baby girl through adoption,’ the message read.
‘We are beyond excited to embark on this beautiful next chapter of parenthood in both peace and privacy.’
‘And then there were 3. Love Millie and Jake Bongiovi.’
