What the heck? - by Bianca Mastroianni
  • 26 Jul 2019

Billie Eilish is everyone's new obsession, with her talent and incredible style - we understand why she has shot to fame so quickly.

WATCH: Billie Eilish goes undercover to surprise her fans

Billie Eilish's legal name is completely out of this world

The girl is totally unique, so we shouldn't be surprised that her legal name is completely out of this world... but we are.

Seventeen.com did a quick Google, only to discover that Billie Eilish Pirate Baird O'Connell.

Sorry? Pirate?

what do you want from me

During an interview with BBC News, Billie explained the meaning behind her name.

"[Eilish] is my middle name," she said. "So I'm Billie Eilish Pirate Baird O'Connell. Pretty weird, right? Pirate was going to be my middle name, but then my uncle had a problem with it because pirates are bad. Then Baird is my mother's name."

LOVE IT. You do you, boo.
