Miley tells Entertainment Tonight that she was called "Smiley," which transformed into "Miley," by family and friends, so she wanted the now unfamous name to be her legal one. She selected "Ray" as her middle name because she wanted the same one as her country singing pop, Billy Ray Cyrus.

When she was born her parents knew she was something special so they named her Destiny Hope Cyrus. When she was younger her parents would call her smiley because she was always smiling. They shortened it to Miley and she liked it so much that she legally changed her name in January 2008.
Destiny Hope Cyrus changed her name to Miley Cyrus because her childhood nickname was smiley and later on her family started calling her Miley so she changed her name to Miley Ray Cyrus. Miley because of Smiley and Ray because her fathers middle name is Ray.
Her friends and parents had a nickname which was Smiley, as she smiled so much. Eventually Smiley went to Miley, and Destiny liked that name better that DEstiny, so she took it as her new name for some reason!
Miley Cyrus changed her name because her dad would frequently call her smiley, so she got used to it and dropped the "s" and so its miley, she filled out all her school papers with Miley Cyrus, later on though acouple years back she officially changed her name to miley then recently she made it miley ray Cyrus..... so know her name is miley ray Cyrus
Miley changed her name becuz she didnt want people to know her REAL name. But her real name is Destiny Hope Cyrus
miley changed her name because her dad called her smiley which rhymes with miley. her name used to be destiny hope Cyrus.
