Millie Bobby Brown, long-known by her stage name, has confirmed she is legally dropping “Bobby Brown” and will now go by Millie Bonnie Bongiovi, adopting her husband’s surname after her 2024 marriage to Jake Bongiovi. The change came to light in a light-hearted interview with her “Stranger Things” co-star, who struggled to recall her new full name before she clarified, “Just drop the Bobby, drop the Brown, it’s just Millie Bonnie Bongiovi.”
Brown explained that “Bonnie” is actually her real middle name — “Bobby” was a pseudonym she adopted early in her career. The name change affirms a new chapter in both her personal and public life: she and Jake also recently welcomed an adopted baby girl and are embracing parenthood together.
