So Miley Cyrus - she of the perpetual is-she-or-isn't-she-knocked-up? rumors - has gone and legally changed her name, and not - as one might expect - to Hannah Montana or Miley Montana or M. Diddy or anything that might put a more comfortable distance between her and her daddy's achey-breaky legacy.
Nope, she's gone and changed her name to Miley Ray Cyrus, which might not seem such a big or significant change, except that a) her real name isn't Miley, it is - or was - Destiny Hope (which, yes, granted, is an unwieldly moniker), and b) RAY is not part of her dad's surname. It's his middle name, as in Billy Ray, like Billy Bob or Billy Joe, not a hyphenated surname in the English style, like, say, Daniel Day-Lewis, which makes his daughter's adoption of it seem, I don't know, just a little bit odd.
Odd, but sweet, I suppose. And MILEY CYRUS WANTS TO BE JUST LIKE DADDY is certainly a nicer - if less interesting - story than the ever-popular MILEY CYRUS IS PREGNANT.
She clearly loves her daddy, and that's always nice to see. All together now: AAAWWWWW.
