Millie Bobby Brown Drops Brown and Bobby After Marriage and Motherhood

Following her marriage to Jake Bongiovi and the arrival of her child, Millie Bobby Brown has discreetly altered her full name.

During a promotional event for season 5 of Stranger Things this past week, the 21-year-old actress, Brown, along with her fellow cast members, participated in a YouTube quiz by VT about each other.

In the video released on Monday, November 24, the interviewer posed a question to the 21-year-old Schnapp: “Noah [Schnapp], could you tell us Millie’s complete name?”

Schnapp, who is Brown’s enduring best friend and the godfather to her daughter, stated that the actress's name is Millie Bonnie Brown.

Brown, nevertheless, clarified that her name had undergone a transformation since then.

Schnapp ventured a guess, “Millie Bonnie Bobby Brown Bongiovi,” prompting his friend to suggest simply “dropping the Brown.”

She clarified, “Eliminate ‘Bobby’ and remove ‘Brown.’ It’s solely Millie Bonnie Bongiovi.” She concluded, “That’s the complete name.”

Brown tied the knot with Bongiovi, 23, in 2024, and the following year, they embraced their first child through adoption.

“It has been a truly wonderful and incredible experience — she has already imparted so much wisdom to us,” she shared with British Vogue in an article released earlier in the month. “Gaining perspective is incredibly significant. The less grand aspects of existence have become far more invaluable. Our days are brimming with abundant embraces, mirth, and affection. It is simply boundless happiness.”

Brown stated that she and Bongiovi equally share all responsibilities related to parenting.

“For that reason, I am immensely thankful to have him as my partner in this journey,” she effused. “He is simply an exceptional father.”

Neither Brown nor Bongiovi have disclosed their daughter’s name or circulated any images of her face — and they have no immediate intentions of altering this stance.

“From my perspective, safeguarding her and her personal narrative is paramount until she reaches an age where she might choose to reveal it independently,” she explained to British Vogue. “It is not appropriate for me to intentionally expose her to public attention against her will.”

Brown further elaborated, “Should she opt to unveil her character to the public someday, as I did in my youth, that is a decision we would endorse. However, at her current tender age … it falls upon us, as her parents, to shield her from such exposure.”

Brown and the son of Jon Bon Jovi reside with their infant child on a Georgia farm.

“I was raised in this area, you understand?” Brown remarked to Vogue about Atlanta, the city where she shot Stranger Things. “Due to Stranger Things, this location represents the most extended period I have lived continuously anywhere in my life. Personally, I consider this my true residence.”

She had previously dismissed rumors suggesting her adoption of a farm lifestyle was exclusively “for visual appeal.”

“My reason for pursuing this is my genuine affection for it,” Brown shared with Vanity Fair that February. “Perhaps some individuals engage in it because it appears virtuous, but that isn't the reality. If you aren't mucking out horse stalls or cleansing a bovine with your own hands, then that existence is unequivocally not suited for you.”

Brown indicated that she and Bongiovi had long held identical views regarding their future aspirations.

“We were quite aligned from the outset of our relationship,” Brown elucidated about their partnership. “We discussed our political perspectives, the type of family we desired to establish, the kind of dwelling we wished to inhabit, the nature of the relationship we sought, and our career ambitions. It constitutes such a pivotal choice, and we aimed to ensure we were making the correct one. I was certain. Things consistently felt appropriate with him.”
