I have been thinking of baby names and I have fallen in love with the name Miley and I wanted to know anybody's opinion on it.

It's not my style (I tend to go for traditional names like Elizabeth) but I think it's really cute.
I like it... It doesn't fit with my girls in style - but I like it :-)

Actually, the name Mylie (pronounced the same as Miley) is a family surname - which is a real last name, but in our case was basically "made up" in the 1940s to replace a VERY Italian sounding surname and avoid prejudice. So to me, the name will always sound like a last name and have many family connotations.
Of course, that is just me. It is cute as a first name, a la Miley Cyrus (Hannah Montana). I agree it's a little cutesy, but it could be a nickname for something a little more formal sounding. Camille? Millicent? Milagros? Amelia? Mila?
Thanks belle_petite for the siggy!
With a DD named Emily, I'd really think hard about Miley. They are very similar, even if the "I" is pronounced differently. Like pp suggested, a more formal name with nn Miley wouldn't be as similar. Just something to consider!
