Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon have finally revealed the names of their newborn twins (yeah, she gave birth over the weekend. What, you were, like, following some other news story?).
*drumroll please…*
Carey and hubby Nick Cannon’s son is named Moroccan Scott Cannon and their daughter is named Monroe Cannon, according to People:
Scott is both the middle name of Cannon, 30, and his grandmother’s maiden name. Carey and Cannon’s daughter did not receive a middle name because the singer herself doesn’t have one.
As for the inspiration behind the names, Monroe was named after Marilyn Monroe, who has been an inspiration to Carey, 42, while Moroccan comes from the top-tier of Carey’s New York City apartment, which features Moroccan-inspired décor and was also the site of Cannon’s marriage proposal.
I mean, don’t get me wrong, you can name your kiddos whatever you want. But I’m not feeling the names.
How about you?

I think they are just fine. Chinese names are weirder and more complex!

Monroe is an okay name, but Moroccan strikes me as quite strange. To each her own.
guest
i agree, i like monroe but i feel bad for morroccan
guest
I really like them both, actually.

I understand Monroe, but Moroccan is just, I don’t know.. even Morocco would be better. It’s like naming someone “Asian” instead of “Asia” (I’ve heard Asia used as a name before).

haha the son was named after the way their apartment was styled? did they just look around the room and pick?

Haha, I hope my boyfriend proposes to me at a zoo so I can name my kid Hyena. : |
guest
I dig the names
guest
Mariah is such a moron, ugh.
guest
Screw their names, I want to see what they look like.
guest
I love the names overall, but I would’ve gone with Morocco instead of Moroccan.
guest
these names weren’t as bad as i thought they would be

Monroe: okay
Moroccan: no way
guest
They don’t mesh with Cannon… It’s weird sounding… but whatever. They like them, and it has meaning to them.
guest
@Cultur3sh0x@xanga - not only chinese names are weird and complex.
guest
My boyfriend’s Aunt named their two girls Manhattan and Rain. Because her hubby proposed in Manhattan and it was raining hahahah.
guest
@KickDrumHeart@datingish - LOVE your style hahaha
guest
@hapahomemaking@xanga - YES this exactly!
guest
@shillykins@xanga - But those are actually cute. I think it just depends on the name you’re naming your kid after. Manhattan. I think that would be a super cool name! And who wouldn’t want to be names RAIN!
guest
@letmedie_2087@xanga - Yeah I agree. They somewhat tell a story. I guess only some names can be pulled off like that.
guest
at least theirs some thought to there names. i cant hate on that
tulip / 16 posts
@shillykins@xanga - I actually think that’s pretty cool, especially with the story behind it
guest
@aznsista2envy@xanga - Yeah… true..depends on what culture. Hah.
guest
Monroe is fine. Moroccan……no……just no
guest
i really don’t care for either names! but hey it’s their taste not mine
guest
wow. i bet your name is completely lame and unoriginal.
guest
I think those are ugly names, sorry. I don’t feel Monroe especially for a black baby. I know I’m gonna get hate for that.
guest
eww
guest
Monroe seems alright, however, their poor son.
guest
I think the reason Moroccan is strange is because it is an adjective. Naming someone an adjective is strange.
guest
why would you name your kid after the way you styled your apartment? that’s ridiculous.

@Cultur3sh0x@xanga - I think a lot of names are. But that’s the culture of other countries.
guest
Monroe’s okay, but just because Mariah doesn’t have a middle name doesn’t mean she shouldn’t. But I’m also someone who thinks children should have middle names *shrugs*
Moroccan. It’s not the worst (Morocco might be better?)… I think it’ll grow on me, but could you imagine when he’s like 40 & he says, “Hi, my name is Moroccan”? Oy. I’d go by Marco (not exactly a derivative, but close enough). But at least he has a normal, and significant, middle name.
guest
i just can’t get over the awkwardness of that picture..
guest
I don’t get why people idolize Marilyn Monroe.
guest
I kinda like Monroe.. but..
MOROCCAN!? SERIOUSLY?
Poor baby.
guest
Monroe is… liveable.
However, Moroccan?! What the hell were they thinking?! Poor kid.
What is his nickname going to be? Mor? Can?
guest
Monroe is kinda cute but Moroccan? Yeah no…and you’ve gotta give your kids middle names! I love calling people by their first and middle names.
guest
I like Monroe!:)
guest
Moroccan. LMAO I read moccasin.
guest
Good thing her place wasn’t Asian or Mexican inspired.

I heard a rumor they are planning on calling Moroccan ”Roc”. I can’t decide if that makes the name better or worse though…

Moroccan Cannon? That sucks.
guest
They didn’t name their kids so it would please the public ~ they picked the names because THEY liked them. It’s a shame you all insist on focusing and gossiping about celebrities, instead of featuring blogs about fashion and beauty tips like the site claims to be about.
guest
what the shit..
guest
I actually prefer Moon Rocket, or James.

Honestly… I was waiting for her to name the daughter Glittler Butterfly Cannon or something like that…. so my expectations were pretty low.
guest
im not feelin the boy’s name
guest
Moroccan sounds kinda girly to me..
guest
I know most of you are commenting on the names… But what’s with the picture? Am I the only one who thinks it’s weird? :/
guest
It’s the picture that I’m not feeling – ewww
guest
wow very sexy
guest
Moroccan Scott sounds like the name of a movie character and I don’t particularly like naked boobie holding pictures of pregnant women. I mean, okay so you were pregnant. We get it. No need to see a naked picture of you and your stomach on your wall (or in a magazine).
guest
@o0_Innocent_0o@xanga - I think I like moccasin better
daisy / 507 posts
hmm not really (:
guest
Whatever they like, right? Did no one else notice that the kids have the same initials as Mariah? MC? Oh well. I don’t care that much what they name their children.
guest
that picture of them naked is so disturbing :/
guest
its a lot better than what I thought she was gonna name them…I had my bets on “butterfly” and “glitter”
daisy / 502 posts
Although I like ‘Monroe,’ I don’t know why celebrities feel the need to give their children awful names. Do they think their children are immune to getting teased?
orchid / 221 posts
What horrible names… O_O
guest
@haloed@xanga - no wonder her poor children’s names both have the word ‘moron’ hidden within.
guest
I do not like that picture AT ALL, ugh.
guest
Um…..
Hmm…
They certainly are…. unique?
Moroccan Cannon? Say that a few times, lol.
To each his own, but I’m unimpressed. If they were going for different and unique, they certainly accomplished that, lol.

Still better than Apple.

I like Monroe, but not Moroccan.

Bah, let them be.
guest
damn she got fat.. or is that a photoshopped pic?! i wanna know what her secret will be to lose all that baby weight!
guest
Who cares and why is this on lovelyish?
guest
Their nicknames? Roc and Roe. Seriously. I can’t make this s*** up.
guest
I dont like Monroe but I like Moroccan. I really like it^^
guest
Thats a fucken discusting picture…. I dont care what people say, showing off your pregnant stomach like thats ugly… Like, I dont think pregnant women should wear bikinis.. They should wear full bathing suits, but what am I to say? Im probably never having kids anyways lol
guest
@seedsower@xanga - Bwahahah…. True
guest
Moroccan is an adjective… I don’t see how that ends up as a name, but whatever. I like Monroe as a girl’s name.
guest
PS – Mariah looks terrible in that picture (not because of her baby bump, either).
guest
she is robbing her daughter of a middle name!

omg this picture is making me ill. and the monroe name is fine but moroccan cmon… i guess if you are a celeb you can’t name ur children anything normal. what happened to names like john, kathryn, stephen?
guest
@Cultur3sh0x@xanga - I don’t think Chinese names are that much weirder than American names or names from any other country. Just because they sound and look different does that make them weird.
guest
Why should anyone care.
guest
Poor babies! Doesn’t Carey seem manish in this pic?

Morroco would have been better, I agree with it being like naming someone Asian instead of Asia. Monroe is alright.
guest
lol
