Celebrity Baby Name of the Day — "Destiny Hope 'Miley' "
Billy Ray Cyrus and Destiny Hope ‘Miley’ Cyrus (aka Hannah Montana) are in the news a lot these days, so it seemed like a good time to look at that name: Destiny Hope ‘Miley’ Cyrus. How does anyone come up with a mouthful like that?
Actually, the explanation is quite simple, and it says something about the power of names as destiny.
Cyrus and his wife Leticia named their newborn daughter Destiny Hope because they felt she was destined for great things. Boy, were they right, at least so far.
‘Miley,’ as most people are now aware, is a pet form of the name ‘Smiley,’ which is what the Cyrus’s began calling their destined-for-greatness daughter at an early age. The reason, of course, is that little Destiny Hope was always smiling.
Perhaps she had glimpsed the future, and was just practicing for the cameras.
