Here’s a little trivia from Billie Eilish’s win for Best Song in a Motion Picture last night the Globes.
For her nomination, spoken out loud and on the chyron, she went by her full name, Billie Eilish O’Connell. In the past she’s just used her mother’s maiden name, Eilish.
Does it mean anything? I’ll leave it to Billie experts to tell me. I just thought it was interesting that the 22 year old pop phenom has updated her moniker. Her father, Patrick O’Connell, was a soap actor in NY in the 1990s, then went on to a few prime time roles. He and wife Maggie Baird –also on soaps — must be very proud of Billie and brother Finneas.
Give it up for “What Was I Made For?” by Billie Eilish O’Connell and Finneas O’Connell in Barbie! Congratulations on your #GoldenGlobes win for 🎶 Best Song – Motion Picture 🎶 pic.twitter.com/0UIXma52Tq
