Best Answer

Miley was originally called Destiny Hope Cyrus because Billy Ray and Tish Cyrus both thought her destiny was to bring hope. But as she grew up she smiled so much that people called her smiley. They shortened this to Miley. She is called Miley Ray because her dads middle name is Ray also.

She changed her name because, her dad would always call her smiley when she was little because she was always smiling. Then he started calling her smiley Miley. Then finally when she was old enough to change her name she changed it to Miley because of her nickname and her middle name was changed to Ray because that is part of her father's name.

What was Miley Cyrus's original first name?

Her birth name was Destiny Hope Cyrus, but in March 2008, when she was 15, she filed papers in the Los Angeles Superior Court to have her name legally changed to Miley Ray Cyrus. Since she always smiled, her parents nicknamed her "Smiley" which was later shortened to "Miley". She changed her middle name to Ray not because her father's middle name is Ray (her father is Billy Ray Cyrus) but to honour her beloved late grandfather (and Billy Ray's father), the Democratic politician Ronald Ray Cyrus, who died February 28th, 2006.Miley Cyrus is her current legal name, hence it is her "real name" at least in some context. However, it was not the name she was born with.Miley Cyrus' birth name was Destiny Hope Cyrus, but when she was 15 she changed her name to Miley. Her friends and family had always called her smiley because she smiled a lot and that changed to Miley. She later legally changed her name.


Why Miley Cyrus?

Miley Cyrus is Miley Cyrus because she changed her name in 2008 from Destiny Hope Cyrus to Miley Ray Cyrus. She did this because her nickname as a child was "smiley" because she was ALWAYS smiling as a baby. Later in her life, "smiley" was shortened to the name Miley. When she legally changed her name she changed it to Miley RAY Cyrus after her dad. Billy RAY (MILEY RAY!)
