monroe cannon (after marilyn monroe--not middle name cause mariah doesn't have one)
moroccan scott cannon (after mariah's favorite room in her house with moroccan decor & also the room where nick proposed--middle name is nick's)
not too weird...definitely a lot better than expected!
Re: and mariah carey's babies are named...
Moroccan is not a weird name?

Moroccan? That is bad--at least do Morocco.
That's like naming your kid Chinese.

I just LOLed. Coffee is now running down my chin
Edit: I kinda like Monroe...sorta.
She named her child after the decor of her favorite room.... that's just weird. Monroe - eh, it's better than some I've seen. But Moroccan is horrid.

Moroccan is the weirdest name ever - its true, its like naming your baby Indian, Italian or Japanese...
Its just a really stupid name...
I completly agree.
I agree, they should have just named him Rocco, because I read in the article they were calling him Roc for short.
I can see it now. "Mommy, was I named after the country Morocco?" "No, baby, you were named after my favorite room in the house. I just love those pillow shams with Moroccan designs."
**crickets**
What will she do if she changes her decor with the next baby? Call it "Shabby Chic" or "Understated Elegance."
I was expecting the girl to be named Mimi and that was stretching the bounds of decency... however that would have been 100000x's better than Monroe for the girl.
If I was her I would have used Monroe for the boy and Mimi for the girl.
This. Monroe isn't the greatest name but I guess it's not the worst either.
I agree. Not that I like Morocco either, but it would be WAY better.
LOL. I completely agree.

Moroccan Cannon. Delightful.
That is awful.
I like Monroe, though.
totally idiotic
Bwahahahaha! I think Morocco nn Rocco would actually have been cute for a celebrity baby.

I was excited to see this post as I've always been a big fan of Mariah.
I'm in the minority here but I think that these are pretty decent names. By celebrity standards I'd even say that they're normal. Compared to Apple, Bronx, Zuma and many more other horrible celebrity children names, I think that Moroccan and Monroe are great choices! Plus, there are no unnecessarily added y's or any other "unique" spelling twists.
I kind of like the name Monroe for a girl and it could definitely grow on me. I think Morocco would have better than Moroccan but I still don't think it's horrible. He could always go by Rocky, Rocco, or Scott. I think the name was chosen more so because it was the room that Nick proposed to Mariah in rather than because it was her favorite room, which is fitting since the twins were born on their anniversary! Definitely love all the thought they put into the names regardless. Just my opinion.

I second this!
If she wanted to name the girl after Marilyn Monroe, then why not choose Marilyn??
And I agree - Morocco would have been much better.
