Millie Bobby Brown’s Name Reveal: Bonnie, Not Bobby!
In a delightful twist of celebrity nomenclature, Millie Bobby Brown, the beloved star of “Stranger Things,” recently spilled the beans in an interview—her middle name is not the quirky “Bobby” but rather “Bonnie.” This revelation emerged during a lighthearted conversation with her “Electric State” co-star Chris Pratt, where 21-year-old Millie confessed, “Just for s–ts and giggles,” was the reason she opted for the playful moniker. It’s a candid moment that reflects a young star’s journey through the labyrinth of fame, where even a name can take on a life of its own.
This name game comes on the heels of another significant personal milestone for Millie: her marriage to Jake Bongiovi, son of legendary rocker Jon Bon Jovi. Tying the knot in a private ceremony last May, Millie expressed her understanding of love’s many dimensions in a recent Vanity Fair interview. “Loving someone and being in love are two different things,” she noted, offering a glimpse into her mature perspective on relationships. The couple reportedly took their time to discuss pivotal topics like family aspirations and political views before saying “I do,” underscoring the importance of compatibility over rushing into matrimony at a young age.
Millie’s playful approach to her name isn’t an isolated incident in Hollywood. Take Cher, for instance, who thought her name was Cherilyn until she discovered her birth certificate revealed it as Cheryl. This amusing mix-up highlights the often convoluted paths to stage names in the entertainment industry. Similarly, Shaboozey, a rising star in outlaw country, adopted his unique stage name after a school mishap misspelled his surname. And who could forget Post Malone? The rapper seamlessly blended his last name into a catchy stage name, while still cherishing his real name, Austin.
Names in Hollywood can indeed be a fascinating affair, reflecting personal identity and public persona. As we navigate through this whimsical world, it’s clear that whether it’s a name change or a personal revelation, these stars are anything but ordinary.
