Miley Cyrus petitioned the Los Angeles Superior Court to officially change her name from Destiny Hope Cyrus to Miley Ray Cyrus.
As a baby, the fifteen-year-old Hannah Montana star was given the nickname “Smiley Miley” by her father, country singer Billy Ray Cyrus, and has been called Miley ever since.
Miley’s parents filed the papers last Friday requesting “to make her commonly used name the same as her legal name.”
Miley and Billy Ray are hosting the CMT music award ceremony together on April 14th.
