Brendan Schaub and his wife experienced an awkward moment after naming their newborn daughter after a character from 'Stranger Things'.

As mentioned, the couple welcomed their third child, a daughter named Billie Isabel Schaub, in November last year. Joanna Schaub shared the announcement on her Instagram.

A few days after their child was born, the former UFC fighter's wife was prompted to discuss the inspiration behind naming their daughter Billie during an Instagram Q&A session with fans. However, she appeared to have made a mistake while explaining the reason for her daughter's name.

Schaub mentioned that she admired the character Billie from the popular American TV show 'Stranger Things' and even shared a picture of the character on her Instagram story. However, it was later revealed that the character she referred to was actually Max, not Billie.
