Wait…what?

Millie Bobby Brown has revealed her real name.

The actress who rose to fame for her role as Eleven on Netflix’s Stranger Things, revealed a shocking fact about her name.

It turns out Bobby is just a stage name.

The 21-year-old made the revelation to BuzzFeed UK while on the press tour for her upcoming film, The Electric State.

She admitted that her real middle name is Bonnie, but she changed it to Bobby as a stage name for the ‘sh**s and giggles’.

Fans online reacted to the news, with one saying: “Imagine being famous enough to rebrand your own name just for fun.”

She told BuzzFeed UK that she had never the spilled the beans about her real name before, but didn’t give any reason as to why Bonnie’s been such a secret.

On another note, the name is a wholesome nod to her father, whose name is also Bobby (for real).

The actress last year shared on Instagram that she had adopted her husband’s surname, making her Millie Bobby Brown Bongiovi.
