“They called me pirate for months, and they were kind of planning on naming me Pirate,” stated Eilish.

The Bad Guy singer added that her grandmother, who died years before she was born, had a pet-name, Bill, so the singer was named Billie by her parents after her grandmother. However, the name Pirate still holds a place in her life and she mentioned it as her middle name. Therefore, her full name is Billie Eilish Pirate Baird O’Connell.
