Miley Cyrus considered changing name to distance herself from Disney past

Miley Cyrus has revealed that she has thought about altering her name in an effort to start afresh.

The singer shot to global fame through starring as the fresh-faced Disney character Hannah Montana but her latest single 'We Can't Stop' has seen Cyrus go more mature.

Its video features the 'Party in the USA' star rock some provocative moves and her short-hair and penchant for revealing outfits reflects her new-found adult look.

Speaking to Notion, Cyrus revealed that she even thought about changing her name to distance herself from any Hannah Montana connotations. She said:

"I was thinking about dropping the Cyrus and just being Miley but there's something powerful about the fact that my name now is like a household name.

"People have this misconception of me that I'm just one of these kids on TV and that now I go off and party and I'm just this ratchet white girl, and I'm not."
