Real Identities of celebrities

Destiny Hope Cyrus?

Who names their kid Destiny Hope? Was he hoping she'd be a stripper?

In a semi-related story, Adam Carolla's parents did not give him a middle name. But when he registered for a driver's license as a teenager, the California DMV demanded that he write something in the "middle name" blank. So he put down "Lakers." His driver's license reads "Adam Lakers Carolla" ...
