If it makes it better at all, her real name isn't even Miley, it's Destiny Hope.

I believe her real name is Miley. I think she changed her name to Miley in 2005 ?

I heard that too, but I don't remember the year. Either way, the only way she could have been named after Miley Cyrus is if she was born in the last few years. Maybe she can say that Ms. Cyrus stole the name from her.

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.
