HelpRe: Miley
in reply to a message by Paul
I have an Irish great-aunt named Miley, she was named after her grandfather (yes a male Miley), and he had been given his mother's maiden name as a first name. Miley is, first and foremost, a surname (albeit not a common one) of Irish origin.
I'm sure my 97-year old great aunt would be thrilled at being mistaken for a tweenager, but alas, I don't think she'd get away with lying about her age! ;-)
NB: I should add, Great-Aunt Miley was thrilled when the name became fashionable for a while, it stopped people looking at her like she had two heads when she told them what her name is!
