Hey, i'm Miley Cyrus. My real name is Destiny Hope Cyrus. Ifyou hear people talking and saying my name is really Miley Cyrus it's not true, it's just my nickname . Although in January of 2008 I didn't officially changed it to Miley Ray Cyrus. I was nicknamed Miley because I smiled a lot as a baby and my dad called me Smiley Miley. For the Hannah Montana show they shortened the nickname to Miley and since then I have grown a liking for it. Thanks for checking Bye !!!!
