Today is Greta Thunberg's birthday
She turned 17.
I looked for her twitter account and found out it said Sharon. So I looked it up and here is the story.

Greta Thunberg has changed her name to Sharon on Twitter, in honour of a game show contestant who appeared to have no idea who she was. While appearing on BBC's Celebrity Mastermind, actor Amanda Henderson was asked to name the teenage climate activist. Looking stumped, Henderson shook her head and guessed: "Sharon." The video soon made its way back to Ms Thunberg herself, and on Friday afternoon she changed her name on Twitter.
