ok, both my step-mom and my step-sister are pregnant at the same time. my step sis is having a girl and is going to name her Miley Victoria. my step-mom likes the name Liliana (nn Lily) Shane if hers is a girl and my 9 yo twin sisters couldn%26#039;t be more thrilled that their niece and little sis are gonna be named after Hannah Montana characters (believe me, that was not the intent). by the time these 2 girls reach middle school, will people make fun of them for having these names (considering a lot of teens now consider Hannah Montana to be really childish and stupid)? should i try to convince them to pick other names (not that i%26#039;d be much of an influence anyway..........)?
Miley and Liliana (Lily) for the babie%26#039;s names?
I do agree with someone from above who said that when these little girls reach their tweens Hannah Montana will probably have passed, but I could be wrong. Look at the Olsen twins, they were really big for the longest time and still kind of are; but I don%26#039;t hear much about them now, which is probably a good thing.
As for the names that your step- mom and sis have chosen, I think that they are nice. Miley is different, and not a name that you hear all too often (as you can read from others comments.) Liliana is nice, and I have always liked Lilly. For the middle names, I like old names so Victoria works for me. People name their daughter masculine names all the time and they give sons feminine names too!
As for not seeing Miley as a professional name, what about the people that name their children Nevaeh? Uh, hell, Dr. Nevaeh? And you never call a doctor by their first name, at least I don%26#039;t. Please, don%26#039;t even worry about not having a professional name.
I wouldn%26#039;t try and convince them to change the names they have picked. I like them
Reply:I%26#039;ve known the name Miley with a different spelling for a LOOOONG time before Hannah Montana came around. And Miley isn%26#039;t her real name, it%26#039;s Destiny Hope (Miley%26#039;s her nickname after smiley, given by her parents).
But I would consider spelling it differently -- maybe Mylee, or Mileigh or Myalee...
Lily is fine, that%26#039;s been around, too -- and she%26#039;s using Liliana. I wouldn%26#039;t worry about that.
Reply:i had a dog named miley and do not consider it a proper name for a person.miley cyruss real name is destiny hope,i remember when she was born.she should have stayed with that or a better nick name.i do not care for victoria as it is stuck up sounding,just my opinion.i do not like lilana i prefer either lily or lilith and shane is a boys name .here are some other ideas----
aubrey denise
lily jane
savannah rose
miranda sue
anya renee
megan elise
i hope i helped.good luck.
Reply:I doubt the reference to Miley and Lily will come into play here; by the time the girls are old enough to be in school, the popularity of HM will probably have passed. And I have to agree with some above me; I cannot picture a woman named Miley in a professional position. I can only see a 10 year old girl. Lilliana is nice though, and I%26#039;ve always been fond of Lily for a name or nickname.
As for Shane, I think its too masculine for a girl. Spelling it %26#039;Shayne%26#039; just makes it seem as if the mother was uneducated and thought that would be a better spelling. %26#039;Shayne%26#039; does not feminize the name %26quot;Shane%26quot;. The pronunciations are the same, so why misspell it if you must use it?
Reply:I%26#039;m certain this has already been touched on, but Miley is merely the NICKNAME of Mr. Cyrus%26#039; daughter -- from the literal word %26quot;smiley,%26quot; of course -- so besides teens already thinking the show/character childish, ADULTS tend to find it equally contrived, immature and lower-class. Add in the association with the girl%26#039;s given name (Destiny Hope), which most will tell you comes across as equally corny and lower-class, and you have a name that manages to seem nothing but juvenile, trashy and not fitting anyone over the age of two.
If she%26#039;s set on it, there%26#039;s little you can do to help the poor child, but you might at least suggest using it as a nickname for some more respectable option. For example, perhaps something like Emilia, Camille, Mila, Milena, Michaela, Millicent -- dare to dream, but I doubt her taste would delve this deep ;) -- or even popular Emily would appeal? If so, you can %26quot;helpfully%26quot; point out that this way she would get to use TWO names she likes ... the formal name and cutesy nickname version. LOL Who knows?! It might work. ;)
Liliana -- and all the Lily and -ana names, to be frank -- is quite a common choice at the moment, so I doubt many will immediately association that one with the childish series. ;) Now if they were to be TWINS ... well that might be a different story entirely. LOL But yes, little %26quot;Lily%26quot; should be fairly safe.
Good luck, by the way!
Reply:Well I would advise against Shane, simply because it is primarily a masculine name. I think a persons name should be a CLEAR indication of their gender, and it would probably get annoying having to correct people all the time.
As for Miley ...well, I honestly never even heard of that name till Hannah Montana (a lot of naming websites don%26#039;t even have it listed) and I think the associations are too strong there. Would you consider suggesting the name Milly to her? It%26#039;s very similar in sound and spelling, and it could also be a nickname for lots of other names.
Liliana, on the other hand, is a beautiful name that I can find nothing wrong with.
So yeah, Shane is a no-go for me.
Reply:I have never heard the name Miley, but wouldn%26#039;t want that for a girl. However, Liliana is a lovely name and I%26#039;d choose it anyway. Shane is a boy%26#039;s name however, so I hope it%26#039;s a family name.
Reply:The name Liliana is pretty. The name Miley, not so much. I can picture an adorable 2 - 10 year old, but I can only picture the name MILEY engraved on a Shop Rite nametag, not a Dr. Miley.
Reply:no i dont think so because by the time there up in the middle school it will be done with.
Reply:i like liliana shayne
but im not a fan of the name miley... Victoria Miley
Hailey Victoria sounds better
Reply:miley is an ugly name .sure its cute for a little girl but imagine her when shes 30 with that name . eww
Reply:I love the name Liliana and wanted it for my daughter when I was pregnant. Who cares if they%26#039;re Hannah Montana characters? Most people don%26#039;t and by the time those girls get to middle school, Hannah Montana will be over.
Reply:I like the name Lily...
:)
