Eagle-eyed Millie Bobby Brown fans think they’ve worked out the name of her baby girl after her latest Instagram post seemingly dropped a huge hint.
The 22-year-old Stranger Things star and her husband, Jake Bongiovi, 24, welcomed their first child via adoption in August 2025.
They said on social media at the time: “This summer, we welcomed our sweet baby girl through adoption. We are beyond excited to embark on this beautiful next chapter of parenthood in both peace and privacy.
"And then there were 3. Love, Millie and Jake Bongiovi."

Since then, the celebrity couple has shared snippets of their life as parents online but have made sure to keep the little one out of the spotlight, choosing not to disclose her name or picture her face.
But, despite this, fans and internet detectives think they’ve worked out the little girl’s name - and Millie’s latest post has only added fuel to the fire.
Fans think the Enola Holmes actress has named her baby Ruth after her late grandmother, who sadly passed away in 2020.
Just hours after Millie and Jake shared their baby news in August last year, as per Hello Magazine, they were photographed on an outing, and Millie had a phone case with the initials 'RWB'.
Followers guessed that it could be the baby's initials, theorising that she could have been named after Millie's grandmother.
Now, the British star’s latest Instagram post, shared on Wednesday (18 May) featured a bikini selfie of her wearing a silver necklace that reads, you guessed it, Ruth.
One fan commented: “Her necklace says Ruth! Baby name??!!” while a second pointed out: “It’s her grandma's, I think, but she could have named her baby after her so.”
And a third guessed: “Ruth is her grandmother's name; the baby's name is Rue, it's very similar, it must be in honor of the grandmother.”
While a fourth wrote: “Your daughter’s name is Ruth!!! So cute!!”
And a fifth and sixth penned: “Baby Ruth???” and “Who is Ruth?”
However, it's important to note that this moniker hasn't been confirmed by Millie or Jake, and it could just be a sweet tribute to her grandmother.
Another theory is that the baby could be called 'Willow' as Millie and Jake's announcement post included an illustration of a tree, which some fans think is as a willow tree.
The Instagram post by the star appears to be tied to her brand, Florence by Mills, and also includes a picture of a beach cart selling pineapples and coconuts, palm trees, and a snap of the star swimming.
Until Millie officially announces a baby name, though, fans will unfortunately just have to keep guessing!
