Would Katy Hudson or Liu Fu Rong enjoy the same degree of success like Katy Perry and Andy Lau?

Miley Cyrus

Born Destiny Hope Cyrus, Miley shot to fame for her role in Disney’s sitcom Hannah Montana. The spunky 20-year-old changed her name to Miley, a shortened version of her childhood nickname, Smiley.

The 20-year-old has accomplished a lot – she has films, music albums, television shows and even concert tours under her belt.

In addition, her personal life seems to be going well with on-again- off-again beau Liam Hemsworth. Despite a rocky start, the two are said to be blissfully engaged.

The verdict: While the name change took place before her rise to stardom, we’re guessing that her unique nameset her apart from her peers, helping in her meteoric rise to fame. Even at her tender age, Miley definitely has a lot to smile about. You go, girl!
