摘要
- Miley is not in the Bible and is only about forty years old. It began as a family nickname — Destiny Hope Cyrus smiled constantly as a baby, was called Smiley, and it shortened to Miley.
- Before that it existed only as a rare surname and an occasional variant of Miles or Millie.
- Destiny is not a biblical idea; Scripture has providence, which is a person attending to us rather than a mechanism. Hope it treats carefully — Romans 8:24 defines it as being about what cannot yet be seen.
- Gladness is no small thing to be named for: Proverbs 17:22 and Philippians 4:4, the latter written from a prison cell.
- No name is holy because of its spelling. Peter’s name was his second, and Paul used two his whole life.
