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!)

As for similar names I like Riley for a girl too, and love the name Hadley.

Okay I'm well over 35 and I immediately thought Cyrus for what it was worth.

I mean, isn’t she the originator of the name? Miley, short for Smiley, which is a nickname - her real name is Destiny. I don’t think it existed as a name otherwise? So people will think of Cyrus yes.

However I know a real life Miley (and a real life Cyrus) and after the first meeting it just becomes their name, like with any other name. No biggie!

Miley make anyone under 35 immediately think “Cyrus”. It’s like Kylie in the 80s.

Not necessarily a bad thing, but if you want to avoid people making a celebrity connection, I’d pick something else.
