Miley Puts More Of Dad In Her Name

From here on out, Miley Cyrus will be known by a new name - and it's not Hannah Montana.

The 15-year-old pop singer-actress has officially changed her name to Miley Ray Cyrus.

It doesn't seem like a big change until you learn that she was actually born with the moniker Destiny Hope Cyrus. The Miley came from a childhood nickname from dad, country singer Billy Ray Cyrus, who noticed that his little girl was very "smiley."

The "Ray" was adopted to honor her father.

Father and daughter are particularly close. He plays her character's father on "Hannah Montana," and she encouraged him to compete on "Dancing With the Stars."
