Thoughts on Miley

I like this name and thinks it goes well with my DD's name which is Erin. What do you think?

I'm Irish, and it was the name of one of the main characters in a long-running soap called "Glenroe". He was a grumpy, middle-aged farmer...

BunnyLebowski · 21/11/2012 20:07

I think it's horrible.

And it makes me think of Miley from Glenroe

LittleDonkin · 21/11/2012 20:09

Erin is Irish too so prehaps it could work on some level Grin

Makes me think of Miley Cyrus aka Hannah Montana!
How about Milly?

LittleDonkin · 21/11/2012 20:21

I dont like Milly as I see it as more of a "cutesy" baby name whereas I see Miley as having a bit of attitude and can actually imagine an adult with the name.

Sorry but it's really dire. Reminds me of that dreadful Miley Cyrus person.

BunnyLebowski · 21/11/2012 20:24

I think it'd be bad on a child, terrible on an adult woman.

PoppyWearer · 21/11/2012 20:25

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.

MistletoeAndTomHardyPlease · 21/11/2012 20:28

what's her real name?

EvenIfYouSeeAPoppy · 21/11/2012 20:28

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.

Hulababy · 21/11/2012 20:29

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.

ENormaSnob · 21/11/2012 20:30

Awful.

LittleDonkin · 21/11/2012 20:34

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

OP posts:
BunnyLebowski · 21/11/2012 20:38

Lois is fantastic!!

Thea sounds wet and lispy.

LittleDonkin · 21/11/2012 20:41

Lois is my favorite I think it sounds great with Erin Smile

OP posts:
RancerDoo · 21/11/2012 20:52

Lois is a fab name, v v v cool.

Rhubarbgarden · 21/11/2012 21:15

Thea is beautiful.

ConfusedandBemused · 21/11/2012 21:27

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

forgetmenots · 21/11/2012 22:24

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

crocodilesmiles · 23/11/2012 12:44

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

winkle2 · 24/11/2012 09:39

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!

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.

mathanxiety · 24/11/2012 17:53

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?

squoosh · 24/11/2012 18:12

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!
