Miley Cyrus Ruined My Daughter's Name

She's sixteen. At sixteen, stuff like this feels like the end of the world, especially when other sixteen year old girls are involved. Maybe you do know it, but girls in high school are cruel, evil little wretches. Maybe not as cruel and evil as they were in middle school, but considering the vile behavior of the average 12 year old female, that isn't saying much.

Nobody ruins your name but yourself!! You should point out to your daughter, that she should be proud of the name you have given her. She should tell all her friends and all the idiots that are making comments to her that it's my name, I like it!! I think Miley Elizabeth is a beautiful name, don't let anyone tell you different.

wow a lot of you are being very harsh. Bullying is a big problem these days, and she is not acting like it's the end of the world. It's a mother being concerned for her daughter. Yea there are bigger prolems in the world but give the lady a break.

Kenny Nash here...........recording artist/writer and now I've heard it all ! Lady get over yourself and rename her. How about Zuke? There will no little girl named Zuke in the USA or probably anywhere in the world.

Do not use Zuke, that is a brand of dog treat.

you'r kid need's to grow up, my name is cynthia (cindi) and i have a friend who has the same name and she was born a few yrs after me, so whats the big deal, ruin her life, sound's like she has no life cause she's dwelling an something so stupid, kid grow up,you'r what 17 yrs. old?? get on with your life big baby, and ma stop cuddle her, grow up too.

I think I read once that Miley was not even Ms. Cyrus' actual first name. She changed it from something else.

Every situation is different. Your son got lucky. Kids are much more aggressive these days when it comes to bullying and much more persistent. Have you not read about the numerous kids that have killed themselves over this? Just because your son got lucky and the boys didn't pick on him over the name Homer doesn't mean that this girl isn't being picked on excessively. Besides, Homer isn't really anything to make fun of. Many girls HATE Miley Cyrus out of pure envy and jealousy. This can manifest itself in severe ways through bullying.

Get over yourself??? Are you serious? This is a concerned mom. All parents should be this way. There is absolutely nothing wrong and I applaud this mother for asking for advice. If only more parents were as involved/listened to their children.

Again, your son got lucky.

You sound a bit too JUDGEMENTAL by saying "get over it". A name is a big deal, especially for a girl. I've been there and now use a nickname. My real name is Rose. Nice name I like it now. But, the years of me being the only Rose resulted in being called, "Daisy" "Tulip" and of coarse other jokes that went with it, and it was hurtful sometimes. As an adult, I like my name but found people had slightly different perceptions of me depending on which name I used. I tested the name theory when applying for jobs and found that when I used my middle name 'Liz" or "Beth" on my resume, I had 2-3 times more responses.
My advise, if your daughter really doesn't like her name don't omit the birth names, but, add Zarya to it... Miley Zarya-Elizabeth sounds really nice and it gives her the freedom to use Zarya legally. Later, she may find that Miley is a great name and will love it again. That way she still has her birth name, and the name she really loves.

Just be glad you didn't name her Sarah

Poor kid, Homer for a name....

Explain to your daughter that Miley Cyrus wasnt born with this name... she was actually names Charity I believe and her parents changed it to Miley.. SO she is borrowing this beautiful name. I would never let my child change her name. I was born Amy Grant... Now i am no singer but as I have gotten older.. It is cool to have a famous name but it was dreadful as a teenager!!

I don't think that it is the kid that needs to grow up, I see it as the mother that needs to growup. She did not own the name that she chose to give her child, all parents have the right to name their children and we can only hope that all goes well with what we do pick. I wonder if the mom in this case may be a bit jealous of the money and fame of Miley Cyrus while her daughter has neither. The daughter does have to accept that she has a name that others share. Over the years of my life I have heard of and met many with the same first name. I havae never been happy with the name that my parents chose for me but after 70+ years I make the best of it. The only person that can ruin the childs name is herself by her behavior and attitude. Anyone remember Jim Jones and the grape kool aid and the people he killed? Does that mean that every Jim Jones should hate his name? Kid and mother need to remember and learn that name is not just theirs to claim, life can be hard at times, and a person is not his or her name but what they make of their life.

One of Bill Murray's sons is named Homer. He was born in '82

I know the feeling... my son's name is Syrus and he gets all kinds of grief over his name. He's only 9 so he obviously wasn't named after her but kids don't care. He's asked to change his name too but I told him to ignore it and that you don't change anything about yourself just because other people think you should.

It isn't the name that is the problem. The name teasing is symptom of the problem but it isn't about her name. I mean c'mon. What about all the Britney's and Lindsey's? Your daughter is being teased for some reason and if her name were different they would be teasing her for another reason. Find out the deeper issue.

Miley was a nickname that evolved from "smiley" because she was always smiling but couldn't say the "S".

Are u kidding me.Miley Cyrus has been out in the spotlight for how long now.They need to grow up.Yeah bullies are out there and do harm.But thats only if you let them.I was picked on for being the only white kid in an all black hood.That was until my mother god rest her soul taught me to stand up for myself.The best advice she gave me.After that the kids didn't mess around cause I stood my ground.Now I can go to any neighborhood and not get messed with.Some of them even told that they justed wanted to stand up for myself.So take the name and be proud and don't let a name dictate who u are.Why would you let them win.Keep your name and move on.When this girl is as rich as M.C.She can sign that name with pride.Mom needs to stop trying to be famous.

well my last name is lopez..so 15YRS AGo thank god i had a boy.guess what name it would of been..yes jennifer.wow that would stink if it was a girl

You named your son Homer, obviously, your input on names isn't very valuable.
