HelpRe: Miley.
in reply to a message by Kelseyyy
Another great reason to use classic names on a birth certificate. Cute nns come and go. Had her parents named her Michele / Michelina, Emilie, etc., she would have had the option of using a different nn, or go by the formal name.
Not that she needs to. She had the name first. But I can see how irritating it would be. And Ms Cyrus seems to be dressing for the tabloids lately so we may never hear the end of her. I feel for your friend.

Yes, I'm such a name-nerd I did know that. I had forgotten her legal name though. I believe her father called her Smiley as a child because she smiled all the time. Smiley morphed into Miley.
But Miley is still so closely associated with Ms Cyrus that the Destiny Hope angle doesn't help, in my mind at least.
On the positive side, her parents didn't try to mangle the spelling of Destiny or Hope. And the nn Miley is cute -- fetching even. It's the over-commercialization that comes to mind when I think of her career that bothers me.
