Billie Eilish | Billie Eilish Pirate Baird O’Connell

From all of the pieces written about the ever-talented Billie Eilish, from her music to her new fashion collaboration with Freak City Clothing, no one has ever thought of her real name. Many probably know that Billie Eilish’s actual name differs from her stage name – or at the very least, you assumed that was the case.

Along with Pirate and Baird, Eilish is one of the singer’s middle names, and her surname is O’Connell. So, for those in the rear, Billie Eilish’s Pirate Baird O’Connell. However, it turns out that Eilish was meant to have Pirate as her middle name, but her uncle didn’t like the lousy connotation with sea-faring marauders. She rose to prominence after releasing the song Ocean Eyes on SoundCloud in 2015, which saw a release by Interscope Records subsidiary Darkroom. Eilish has garnered numerous awards to her credit. She is the first and only individual in history to win all four major Grammy awards in the same year.
