Millie Bobby Brown, Eleven, Enola Holmes - these are all names you might associate with the Stranger Things actor. But would you believe me if I said none of them were her real name?
And no, I'm not talking about her recent name change to Millie Bobby Brown Bongiovi, in the wake of her marriage to Jake Bongiovi.
As it turns out, Millie Bobby Brown has had a stage name this whole time, and none of us - except for Brown's nearest and dearest - knew it.

The actor dropped her bombshell in a new interview with Buzzfeed while promoting her new movie The Electric State, in which she stars alongside Chris Pratt.
During the interview, Pratt began to question the actor's middle name, joking: "Is it Millie Bobby Bobby Brown?"
The actor responded: "My middle name is Bonnie."
Pratt then attempted to clarify, asking if her name was 'Millie Bobby Bonnie Brown' - but as it turns out, Bobby isn't actually involved at all.
Brown explained: "There's no Bobby. It's Millie Bonnie Brown."
Warning - Explicit Language:
Pratt was left stunned, which is understandable since Brown admitted that she had 'never told anybody that'.
"You heard it here first!," she added.
Meanwhile, Pratt was still trying to wrap his head around the fact his co-star had a name he'd never heard before.
"Your middle name is Bonnie?," he asked, before questioning why she'd decided to change her name to 'Bobby'.
Brown said she'd made the choice simply for 'sh*ts and giggles', which is as good a reason as any, I suppose!
Fans have been left astounded by the revelation, with one viewer writing: "This is wild."
"Whattt really?!? [sic]," another stunned fan responded.
It might take us a while to get used to the idea that Millie Bobby Brown is actually Millie Bonnie Brown, but in her new movie she's neither of those things.
Instead, she stars in The Electric State as an orphaned teenager named Michelle, who teams up with her robot friend in an attempt to track down her long-lost brother. Along the way, she meets a smuggler (Pratt) and his 'wisecracking sidekick', and together they attempt to get to the bottom of a mechanical conspiracy taking place at the center of a futuristic - but also retro - American heartland.
The movie has been directed by the Avengers: Endgame directing duo the Russo brothers, and is set to arrive on Netflix on March 14.
