Billie Eilish | Billie Eilish Pirate Baird O’Connell

If we’re talking about new singers in the industry, it would be a disservice not to credit how popular Billie Eilish has become since beginning her career back in 2015. Getting her first big shot to fame with her debut single, Ocean Eyes, she has since become most known for songs such as Bad Guy, Everything I Wanted, and Your Power. Plus, she also had the chance to sing the theme song for the 2021 James Bond flick, No Time to Die.

Using one’s first name and surname is often the usual way celebrities make their stage name. For Eilish, though, it sure looks like she had plenty of choices. For one, her real name is Billie Eilish Pirate Baird O’Connell. If you were wondering why she has Pirate for a name, you could thank her brother, the singer-songwriter Finneas. He suggested naming his younger sister Pirate before Billie became the final decision.
