Billie Eilish is a very famous singer, but she didn't always like her name when she was a child.

In a magazine, singer Billie Eilish answered questions from some famous friends. One friend, actor Idris Elba, asked her if she ever felt bad about her name and if she had met anyone with the same name before.

When I was young, I really didn't like my name. People often said, 'I thought Billie was a boy's name.' I heard this every day, the singer said. I remember being very angry, and I wanted a girl's name, like Violet or Lavender, a nice name like a flower.

But now the singer likes her name very much, and her many fans would probably agree.

Billie Eilish said it's funny because she can't imagine having any other name. She feels that 'Billie' is the perfect name for her and truly represents who she is. She really loves her name.

The singer of "Wildflower" said her name is from her grandfather, William. She said, "My grandfather was the first Billy I knew, but I never met him."

She said, "The first woman I knew called Billie was Billie Piper from Doctor Who. I really liked Doctor Who, so I was very happy about that." She laughed and said, "But I also felt jealous and angry because I thought, 'Why would someone say my name but mean a different person? I don't like that!'

Other famous people with the name Billie include Billie Jean King, Billie Holiday, Billie Joe Armstrong, Billie Lourd, Billie Burke, Billie Whitelaw, and Billie Dove.
