Her real name is 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 everyone called her "Smiley" and then shortened it to Miley Hope Cyrus and now it is totally changed to Miley Ray Cyrus. She had Ray as her middle name because her father's middle name was Ray, because she is so much like her father.



The reason why her first name was Destiny Hope, was because her parents knew that her Destiny was to bring Hope to this world.
