She's one of the BIGGEST pop stars in the world with hits like 'Malibu', 'Wrecking Ball', and her new single 'Nothing Breaks Like A Heart', but fans of Miley Cyrus have been left shocked to core to learn that Miley isn't actually her real name.
Despite being in the spotlight for a huge number of years, it seems some fans of the singer have only just discovered that her birth name is actually Destiny Hope Cyrus... not Miley!
Fans took to Twitter to express their shock at the revelation. One user wrote, 'Why did i just realize Miley Cyrus’s real name is Destiny Hope Cyrus....', with another adding, 'I was today years old when I learned Miley Cyrus’ real name is Destiny Hope what.' [sic]
Another wrote, 'Am I the only person who didn’t know Miley Cyrus’ real name was destiny hope?', with another shocked user writing, 'Sooo am I the only one who never knew Miley Cyrus’s real name is Destiny Hope. This whole time I thought her name was Miley 😭'. [sic]
Other fans of the superstar singer were quick to question their level of love, wondering how they didn't know this fact if they were 'real fans'.
A Twitter user called Lucy jokingly wrote, 'How did no one know that @MileyCyrus real name is Destiny.. Call yourself true fans 😂😂 jk i thought everyone knew lol'. [sic]
Miley made the decision to change her name when she was younger, using her nickname 'Smiley' as the inspiration. In 2008, the 'Wrecking Ball' singer then changed her name from Destiny to Miley legally!
But her character's name in hit Disney show Hannah Montana was also Miley Stewart - so that could be a telling sign too!
Miley isn't the only famous celebrity to change her name. Check out all of these celebrities' real names:
