It's more popular than any of those, and even now when popularity is harder to achieve. I think it sounds enough like Kylie and Riley and Maya (also trendy), that because of the popularity it'll more likely be just another dated trendy name, rather than an obvious celeb reference like Sade or Cher. But I don't think Miley Cyrus will be forgotten, and her impact on the name's image will probably last somewhat too. I think the name is sort of silly, and the only person likely to carry it into middle age with any grace is Cyrus herself. I think the same of Kiley and Riley. Their shallow youthful-imagey-ness is their main attribute. But, I am not so sure that someone born today would feel that as strongly as I do.
