LOS ANGELES, Calif. -- A Miley by any other name just didn't sound as sweet - so it's officially adios to Destiny Hope.

The tween superstar officially changed her name to Miley Ray Cyrus on Thursday morning, Access Hollywood has confirmed.

A Los Angeles Superior Court judge approved the name change petition, filed on behalf of Miley by her parents.

"My family had always called me Miley and my dad called me Miley Ray," Miley previously told Access Hollywood of plans to change her name.

So as Miley is about to get behind the wheel, she'd like to stick to just one name.

"I am getting my license, so instead of having a thousand different names on it, just having Miley Ray, which is also kind of cool because my name and my dad's names look alike," she added.

The petition, filed by parents Leticia and Billy Ray Cyrus, states that the "Hannah Montana" star wants to "make her commonly used name the same as her legal name."

She changed her name to simplify things for herself, so what! And there was nothing wrong or inappropriate about that artsy fartsy photo of her. She is a grown woman from a biological and medical stand point which only makes those of you critisizing the picture a bunch of ignorant, closed minded, socialy perveted bigots! You all need to grow up

Haha, that one was too much, even for me. I like to make light of all these people, although the point is more kind of lampooning those that actually write here and care enough about celebrities to have impassioned opinions. But I crossed the line there. And trust me, I can be irreverent. But to all young women everywhere, my apologies.

Hey karen, you have no idea just how much C*CK she wants to suck, and I'm just the guy to help her out with a little helping gland. And no one is talking this sweet and innocent young angel into taking her clothes off. She's obviously inclined toward such things herself; this is the third such incident. She's growing up, and venturing out. :)
