Millie Bobby Brown may no longer be solely recognized as a Netflix star, having evolved beyond and outgrown that identity both in form and reality over the years. However, there is no denying that her role in Stranger Things continues to inspire and resonate with many. Interestingly, even before Stranger Things became a household name globally, an incident involving a fan’s child led to an early connection to the show, specifically with Brown's character and the protagonist of the series. 

The fan recently recounted this peculiar incident, highlighting the uncanny coincidences orchestrated by the universe.

A fan recently shared on Reddit the story of how he and his partner, who were once dedicated hippies, named their child Eleven long before Stranger Things and Millie Bobby Brown’s character became a cultural phenomenon. The fan recounted mystical and unique reasons behind their unconventional choice, reflecting on their hippie roots. Despite initially expecting their child to eventually change the name, they were surprised that their daughter, now in middle school, still embraces it.

The fan also recalled an amusing incident at a pool where a young man approached them to inquire if their child shared the same name as his own, having only encountered one other person named Eleven before. While the fan finds it endearing that his daughter loves Stranger Things, he expressed frustration over widespread speculation that her name was inspired by the show or adopted afterward. Despite missing the chance to share a cool backstory, they are open to their daughter, potentially changing her name and embracing its unique story.

As for Brown, the time to part ways with Eleven is approaching. However, the actress has found a unique way to ensure that Eleven and her story can stay with her at all times.

Stranger Things season 5 might be onto some delays, but it is clear that the series is indeed making its last lap. For Millie Bobby Brown, who skyrocketed to Hollywood stardom through her role as Eleven, this impending separation is understandably bittersweet. Despite this, Brown has plans to carry Eleven with her beyond the show's conclusion, as she discussed with Collider in March, referencing the Eleven tattoo she got done.

Brown expressed uncertainty about what it will mean to say goodbye to Eleven when the time comes, but sees it as an opportunity to cherish the character that has been and will always remain a part of her. While Brown aims to grow both as an actor and a person, she views Eleven as her "home," the foundation of who she was and who she has become. Interestingly, this sentiment also echoes the fan who connected with Eleven long before Stranger Things became a phenomenon.
