Millie Bobby Brown has officially changed her name
Millie Bobby Brown has officially revealed her new name in a recent interview with co-star Noah Schnapp.
The pair sat down for a chat about the upcoming fifth and final season of Stranger Things, marking the end of one of Netflix's most popular shows, with the finale on New Year's Eve coming almost 10 years after the show's pilot aired.
Over that period of time, it's fair to say that Brown has made a name for herself in Hollywood, starring in the titular role of both Enola Holmes films, while also featuring in the Godzilla franchise.
Now 21, the British-American actress is set to reprise her role as 'Eleven' in Stranger Things for the final time as season five is released in three batches, falling on Thanksgiving, Christmas and NYE.

Away from the screen, Brown announced her engagement and subsequent marriage to Jake Bongiovi, son of rock legend Jon Bon Jovi, in the spring of 2024.
The pair even welcomed their first child together earlier this year, with the actress revealing her desire to be a young mum like her own mother and grandmother before her.
But during an interview with VT last month, Brown revealed that she had completely changed her name after tying the knot with the 23-year-old.
While Brown revealed that her real name before adopting her current stage name was 'Millie Bonnie Brown', which Schnapp had as his first answer.
She was about to correct him, before the actor quickly said that it was 'Millie Bonnie Brown Bongiovi', though this was still wide of the mark.
His third guess was a proper tongue twister: "Millie Bonnie Bobby Bongiovi Brown."
Brown said there was 'no Bobby', asking her castmate to start again, as Schnapp said: "Millie Bonnie Brown..." before she finally jumped in to clarify: "Drop the Brown. It's just Millie Bonnie Bongiovi. Millie Bon Bon!"
It reveals that the actress has taken her husband's last name, dropping her own, just months on from admitting to The Electric State co-star Chris Pratt that she had 'never told anyone' her full maiden name.
When asked why she changed her middle name to 'Bobby' as her stage name, she joked that it was for 's**ts and giggles'.
Brown was rumoured to have been with Bongiovi since 2021, two years before announcing their engagement.
They then tied the knot in a small ceremony before holding a bigger wedding in Tuscany following their initial May wedding.
Taking to social media this August, Brown shared that they welcomed a 'sweet baby girl through adoption, adding: "We are beyond excited to embark on this beautiful next chapter of parenthood in both peace and privacy."
