Miley Cyrus’ mum is reportedly following in her daughters footsteps, and is changing her name.

Miley was named Destiny Hope Cyrus when she was born in 1992. She was nicknamed Smiley due to her cheerful nature, which was then shortened to Miley.

Now her mother is following suit according to TMZ. Leticia has filed to have her name changed legally to her nickname Tish. In the application papers, she insists she has been known as Tish “for as long as she can remember”.

In other Cyrus news, dad Billy Ray and son Trace will be teaming up for a TV show about UFOs.
