Well, seeing as how the name came out of obscurity thanks to Miley Cyrus, I'm afraid people would associate the name with her. I think it's in the same class as Cher or Madonna.

I still like it, though. It has spunk. I strongly prefer the Miley spelling, because the others look weird to me. And Miles is a cool nickname for a girl.

Yeah, I know, I'm just wondering how long her career will last :P She seems to be a typical teen star. So I wonder whether she'll be forgotten in 10 years. Oh and Cher and Madonna have never been popular but Miley was close to the top 100 so there would be others around.

I doubt her career will last that long, but I think the name will always be tied with her. You have a point about Cher and Madonna never being popular, though. Perhaps since more Mileys are being born, I will be proved wrong and the name won't be so heavily associated with Cyrus.

I agree. My guess is that Miley is popular but Cher and Madonna are not because Miley fits perfectly in with the current naming trends.
