Destiny has emerged as a surprising baby name hit. It's been in the Top 50 for almost every year since 2000. Perhaps parents were inspired by the real name of one of Disney's biggest breakout stars, Miley Cyrus, who was born Destiny Cyrus. Or perhaps it's the nod to the future in uncertain times. Whatever the case, one thing we know for sure is that there are a lot of Destinys running around the playground lately (just make sure yours picks the right path).
