I think the same thing happened to Shirley. It was used for a female character in a book and from then on parents named their daughters Shirley instead of their sons (it was never really common for boys anyway). Then Shirley Temple came along and for some time people seemed to have named their daughters after her (at least that's what I read even though it was already a common name at the time).

Today it isn't associated with the book or Shirley Temple simply because there are so many around. And Shirley Temple is still well known in general, kind of like Charlie Chaplin.

So I'd say it depends. If Miley is being used more in the next couple of years and Miley Cyrus' career fades it will probably be usable. Unless she turns into a Lindsay Lohan case - no real career but always on the news for breaking the law.
