I really like Miley, makes me think of 'Smiley'

I like Miley and I prefer it over Lois and Thea personally..

to the poster who asked what Miley Cyrus real name is it is..

Destiny Hope Cyrus according to wiki... (I think I would have taken Miley too)

Maile pronounced My-lee is a Hawaiian name.

I knew one at primary school in the eighties. And there is an author called Maile Meloy and an actress called Maile Flanagan. It is unccommon but it is used.

Maile is a proper name. Miley - as has been pointed out already - is a pet name derived from 'smiley' in Miley Cyrus' case.

So, if you love the name I would go with the spelling 'Maile'.

I quite like Mila

it's for a girl!?

well holy god and I really mean it this time

What about Biddy?

Is there anything shtirring Biddy?

Well HOLY God Biddy

math

I think the First and True Miley has a more earthy charm!

There could be a hundred perky American starlets called Miley in the world and still the first person that springs to mind when hearing that name is a certain craggy faced farmer from Glenroe.

Combine it with Erin and I'd think you were a Glenroe superfan!

Please NO.

With Erin as a sister, you would make a lot of Irish people smirk.

Lois or Thea would be far nicer.

How about Mila?

Miley Cyrus real name Destiny Hope Miseltoe

Miley is marginally better than that.

I really don't like Miley. At all. Marley might be better? Thought I don't like that much either.

I like Miley too but I would use it as a nickname. Then you could say it evolved from her full name and people wouldn't think you named her after Miley Cyrus!

I like Miley a lot.....It sounds like I'm alone on that one though!

Love Thea. Lois so-so, really dislike Miley, it's very trendy whereas I think Erin (and Thea) are classic. Good luck OP

Little donkin google Miley from Glenroe.....just awful really really awful!

Thea is beautiful.

Lois is a fab name, v v v cool.

Lois is my favorite I think it sounds great with Erin

Lois is fantastic!!

Thea sounds wet and lispy.

Looks like I may revert back to my original favourites which are Lois or Thea!

Awful.

It would make me think of Miley Cyrus, as in Hannah Montana. As said already Miley was originally just her nickname, not her real name (think that was Destiny), although I think she has now changed her name formally to Miley.

There are so many pretty names you could use. Please don't saddle your child with that name.

Girls' names that go with Erin (nice name btw): Lucy, Amy, Amelia (and you could call her Miley as an unofficial nickname if you really had to), Lily, Emily, Anna, Sadie, I could go on.

what's her real name?

It's worth noting that Miley is Miley Cyrus' nickname, from "smiley", it is not her "real" name.

I have come across a couple of very young Mileys and sorry, I don't like it, I think it's chavvy.
