Billy Ray Cyrus has some thoughts following his daughter’s decision to change her name. Following the announcement of her new album, Miley Cyrus revealed she’s dropping her last name, going only by Miley. Cyrus has shared his thoughts in a lengthy Instagram caption.
In a post shared on Instagram, Cyrus shared his thoughts, accompanied by an adorable photo of him and two of his kids: Braison and Miley, whom he shares with his ex-wife Tish Cyrus.
“Family means more than ever now. I always called my little girl Miley. Just … Miley. Just like I always called my little boy Braison,” Cyrus captioned the post. He then explained that he felt good about Miley going only by her first name, name-checking Dolly Parton, Miley’s godmother, who recently passed away.

“Now … if only Mercury / Polygram would have just not insisted on the” Billy Ray” part and just let me be CYRUS…… I could have done something!!! Ha ha !!! All good,” he concluded.
