Millie Bobby Brown is an iconic and unique name reserved for one British actress. Well, it turns out that name is not really accurate; the Stranger Things star now goes by another name in her personal life.

In an interview between the Stranger Things cast and VT, Noah Schnapp was asked what Millie Bobby Brown’s real name was. He announced that her real name was “Millie Bonnie Bobby Brown Bongiovi.”
It’s been over a year since Millie married Jon Bon Jovi’s son, Jake Bongiovi, in May 2024. The 21-year-old star revealed she took his last name. Millie hilariously corrected Schnapp, explaining it’s not that complicated.
She told him to simplify it.
“Drop the Bobby. Drop the Brown,” she instructed. “It’s just Millie Bonnie Bongiovi.”
Millie Bonnie Brown Has A New Name
Wait, but where did Brown come from?
In March this year, Millie revealed to Chris Pratt (and the world) in an interview with Buzzfeed UK that her middle name was actually “Bonnie,” not “Bobby.” Apparently, she made the change for “s—s and giggles” when choosing her stage name.
So mystery solved there. Millie’s real name is exactly what you would expect. She goes by her real first and middle name and now her husband’s last name. She shortened her name to “Millie Bon Bon,” which remains playful and unique.
It’s very likely she will keep Millie Bobby Brown as her stage name, though. Because branding is everything in Hollywood. But that remains to be seen. While speaking of names, Millie is keeping the name of her adopted daughter private. However, she did talk being a parent.
“It’s been a beautiful, amazing journey—she’s taught us so much already,” Millie told British Vogue earlier this month. “Perspective is a huge thing. The smaller things in life are so much more precious. Our days are filled with lots of cuddles and laughter and love. It’s just endless joy.”
