Singer-actress Miley Cyrus considered dropping her surname like Beyonce, Shakira or Kesha but was worried it would affect the recognition she currently has.
The 20-year-old said she did not drop her last name because it brought a household touch to it, reported Showbizspy.
"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. I work really really hard, I'm just in a different environment. I'm young and living and in Los Angeles which is everyone's dream, you know.
"I'm living it to the fullest. Rather than taking a blessing and making it a curse, it's just like this is what this name is now," she said.
Cyrus also said she is a hardworking girl contrary to her image of a party animal.
"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. I work really really hard, I'm just in a different environment. I'm young and living and in LA which is everyone's dream, you know," she added.
