My real name is Elizabeth, but I had a nanny growing up who called me ‘Elizabeanie.’ So from 4 months old, my brothers were, like, ‘Let’s call her Beanie.’ To show people the validity of it, I always say that if I met the president, I would say, ‘Hi, my name is Beanie.’ Beanie Feldstein Read Quote

Everyone always said, ‘When you’re 10, you’ll want to be Elizabeth, or when you’re in college.’ And every time, I was was just like, ‘No, I’m Beanie. That’s who I am.’ So I love my name because I think it really suits me. Beanie Feldstein Read Quote
