Stranger Things star Millie Bobby Brown has revealed a new name and it’s sent fans into a frenzy.
It’s not unusual for celebrities to change their names at some point in their lives – Elton John, Lady Gaga and Sting weren’t welcomed into the world with their unique monikers, after all.

But it’s less common for stars to unveil new names once they’ve already made it into the spotlight, which is one of the reasons why Bobby Brown caused such a stir when she revealed her new title in a post on Instagram.
The Stranger Things star has been teasing fans with updates on the newest season of the hit Netflix series – and considering it isn’t set to be released until 2025, fans are welcoming whatever insights they can get.
Earlier this month Bobby Brown shared a series of snaps from the set of the show, including one of her with a bloody nose which indicates her character, Eleven, will be putting her powers to use once again.

It’s one photo in particular that stood out to Instagram users though, and it includes Bobby Brown’s name written on a piece of tape which is stuck to a black slate.
The name started off as you’d expect – Millie Bobby Brown. But there was a new name added; one that fans of her love life will be very excited by.
That’s right; the name read ‘Millie Bobby Brown Bongiovi’ – referencing Bobby Brown’s marriage to husband Jake Bongiovi.
The couple got engaged in April 2023, and in May of this year Bongiovi’s father, Jon Bon Jovi, confirmed the pair had tied the knot.
Speaking to the BBC, the musician said: „They are great, they are absolutely fantastic.
„It was a very small, family wedding and the bride looked gorgeous and Jake is happy as can be. It’s true.”

The low-key wedding meant that there wasn’t much coverage for fans to sink their teeth into, so Bobby Brown’s revelation of her new name has caused huge excitement for followers.
One used leaned heavily on the caps lock key to share their feelings, writing: „MILLIE BOBBY BROWN BONJOVIIIII”
While another added: „‘Millie Bobby Brown Bongiovi’ got me.”
„Millie Bobby Brown Bongiovi sounds so powerful,” wrote a third.
Bobby Brown has gushed over her new husband in other posts on Instagram, including one last month in which she described him as her ‘forever wedding date’.
