I love this name and my dh likes it as well but worried it will just remind everyone of Miles Cyrus. Opinions? (And any similar names!)

I will admit, because it’s an anonymous Internet forum, that I had a slight thing for Dick Moran.

Ohhh! Me too!

And I thought Terri (or Terry?) (the harlot) was gorgeous. My childhood self would face given anything to look like her!

Dick Moran once made a guest appearance at our primary school's sponsored walk.

Mammies were swooning.

I'm thinking now of the UK posters reading about Miley, Biddy & Fidelma & thinking 'wtf?'
(Most unexpected thread direction ever!)

Ah Glenroe! I still think fondly of the episode when Dinny nobbled Fr Devereux's greyhound & went to confession (to him) to tell him (knowing Fr D couldn't do anything if it was told to him in Confession)

I'd forgotten Miley Byrne was a mushroom farmer. That's definitely the least sexy category of farmer.

MrsOwainGlyndŵr · 01/07/2022 10:27

Miles, with nn Miley would be better. Gives him options when he's a CEO.

SurpriseSurprise · 01/07/2022 10:10

I love the name Miley, but I’d be worried about the whole Miley Cyrus thing too

Miley for Irish people will always be a gormless middle-aged mushroom farmer who says ‘Well, Holy God!’ (from a long-running soap).

Miley Byrne is who I'd think of too if I heard the name Miley 😁, but it's a very Irish association.
Blast from the past!
It's a form of Miles I guess, or was in his case anyway.

I’m surprised the poor woman didn’t have to leave the country! Grin

This has taken me back!

Member the time he went for a roll in the barn with some strumpet who wasn't his good wife Biddy and the nation was in uproar!

Said strumpet is a mum in my kids' school (the actor clearly!) & she's lovely. First day I saw her, I gasped ... 'it's Fidelma!'

She says she still gets recognised & hissed at when she's out & about.

@EarringsandLipstick, that's so funny, all these years later! Foxy Fidelma taking advantage of poor sweet Miley in the hay barn. Not something that can be easily forgiven!

DontLikeCoffee · 30/06/2022 20:58

No, it’s awful. It not even Miley Cyrus’s real name. It’s just nicknamey and will date.

Luredbyapomegranate · 30/06/2022 20:15

Yes it will. No don’t use it.

How about Marnie?

I was scrolling down the thread rapidly to see if any other Irish person had suggested this.

The only Miley I could ever imagine! 'Well, Holy God!' 😂

MurderAtTheBeautyPageant · 30/06/2022 19:57

@HerTableLaid Grin

there will only ever be one Miley for me and it's ain't Ms Cyrus!

yui · 30/06/2022 19:51

I don't like it, but I have a low opinion of Miley Cyrus (the whole twerking/Blurred Lines thing was enough to put me off her music for life), and she's pretty much the only Miley around who is known to the public. I think the association would be hard to escape.

It's like Ariana. Name your daughter Ariana and I wouldn't be surprised if people thought you were inspired by Ariana Grande, even if you liked the name before she was famous.

miltonj · 30/06/2022 19:07

Yep, I like Miley a lot. Also Myla.

JaniceBingALing · 30/06/2022 19:05

No

LaTangerina · 30/06/2022 18:36

Miley is a traveller name here, I know multiple kids & adults here called Miley.

Staynow · 30/06/2022 18:28

I've never heard of anyone being called Miley apart from Miley Cyrus so that would be my first thought too (at 47). She's not someone I'd want to name my child after either tbf.

PeekAtYou · 30/06/2022 18:20

I think of Cyrus and am over 35.

I don't think it's a bad association. People call babies Katie despite Price and Hopkins bring the most famous Katies (in the UK at least)

Lalosalamanca · 30/06/2022 18:13

Same as above

Even if it didn't make me think of her it's a nah from me
