 Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon reveal baby namesMariah Carey and her husband Nick Cannon have finally revealed the names of their twins who were born in Los Angeles on Saturday. Their son is named Moroccan Scott Cannon, with the nickname "Roc". Scott is Nick’s middle name, as well as his grandmother’s maiden name. The top tier of Mariah’s New York City apartment is called the Moroccan Room, because of the Moroccan-inspired decor. It’s also the place where Nick proposed to his wife, overlooking Manhattan! Their daughter’s name is Monroe Cannon. Mariah's rep says she does not have a middle name because Mariah herself does not have one. Monroe was named after Marilyn Monroe, who has been an inspiration to Mariah her whole life. In fact, Mariah purchased the Hollywood icon’s white piano from Christie's auction house and it is in Mariah’s will that the piano will one day go to the Smithsonian. Mariah’s rep, Cindi Berger, tells CNN, “It has been a long, emotional journey for this family, and I couldn’t be happier for all of them.”

Those poor kids will be saddled for life with more Hollywood crazy names.
Monroe is not going to have as much trouble as Moroccan will....OMG...poor baby
Usually when people name their kids after locations (like America, China, Montana etc) they don't use the form she used -nobody names their kid AmeriCAN, Chinese, IndiaN-did they really stupidly not realize that Moroccan's root word would be MoroccO?!?!? Doofballs.
Oh, oh. I can see the nicknames right now - Roc n Roe!
Awww...what a cute little baby Moron.
I thoroughly agree with you.
It seems that these people try to outdo each other with ridiculous names.
@pdunfe.... LMAO!
Monroe is cute but Moroccan is not cool – if you are going to call him "Roc" just name him that! Forget the "M" deal!
Roc & Roe?
I win my babys names are tampon and dush
People need to read the article. They didn't "mess up" and name their kid Moroccan instead of Morocco by accident. He's named after the room in their apartment where Nick proposed to her. I still hate the name, but at least they had a reason that means something to them. It's not just celebrities that name their kids weird names. My daughter has a Trayt and a Cloye (Chloe) in her class. Our next door neighbor has a son named Yorton. Seriously. Even Morocco is better than that, I don't care what the reason is!
While not a huge fan of the names, I do love that they chose names that were meaningful to THEM. For all of you critics, feel free to name your children whatever you wish after you shoot them out of your crotch. Until then... leave the happy new parents alone!
Oh boy did you nail that right!!! What is up with these people? Look at the names that Demi Moore named her girls? Ya got Zuma, Apple, Suri, Viviene Marchelene, Moses, Maddox, Pax, Sparrow? Now I like unusual names, my cat's names are not exactly Garfield and Kitty, I have Phaedra Leigh, Nyanna Marie and Dariah Jo, but at least they won't be picked on and turn into Hollyweird brats later on like some of their parents. Granted, all these kids will have more money than they could ever spend just like their parents and Nicole Ritchie was a Vicodin addict? But the two people I hope that never get pregnant is the two most useless women on the planet, Paris and Lindsay. The only time Paris would pay attention to her kid would be for the paparazzi moments and Lindsay who has the worst parents on the planet, would not even begin to cope with a kid. SO I pray nobody knocks them up.
did she eat them yet?
actually naming a baby after a room in your house is even dumber than MoroccaN. I think Morocco would've been fine. Maybe I should have named my kid livingroom since that's where my spouse proposed to me.
Mariahs Secret Squirrel squirted out a Moroccan Mole.
Do you guys really have nothing better to do than leave comments on how stupid you think the baby names are??? GET A LIFE! Mariah and Nick are happy with 2 beautiful babies. They are wealthy and will live comfortably indeed. Quit hating on them. They are probably soaking up eachother's presense right now while you all are on here wasting your time worrying about their baby names. Why don't you sign off the computer and worry about your own children.
That name MOROCCAN is even worse than RatBoy ! Poor kid. I bet when he gets older he will punch his crazy mom right in the mouth !
Oh so you punched your mom in the face when you grew up? Because all moms do stupid things even yours!
Still not as bad as Blanket...
hi i name my kid morrocan and declare the nick name to be roc. if I werent a loon i would name him roc and ask if u smell what he is cooking..... but nah school kids will get that nickname fixed more like MORON or CANT...
cannon cant!
Lol.. At the first comment.. I actually like that name Moroccan.. Though its close to the country Morocco ..hehe Love you MARIAH!!!!
actually morocco has the longest standing peace treaty with the united states over all over countries and is considered an ally. please at least wiki the subject you are ignorantly insulting before you post things like this on a national news website.... oh wait.. these are cnn.com listener comments. why am i so shocked?? lolololol
@reality check: May I ask why you chose to commment?
gocart would be a cool name !
Lol, emilie. It would indeed !
LOLs
Maybe their next baby will be named gokart...we can only hope
Im surprised she didnt name one Doookie Sandwich and the other Turd Salad.
Mariahs name back in the 70s was virtually unheard of so don't rele matter to me. Tho Moroccan for a name is not my fave, morocco sounds better tho lol
I actually like Monroe. It's an acceptable celebrity baby name to me. But, Moroccan?...
Morocan sounds like a name you would give a transformer ..lol
I love Monroe and Monroccan is quite unique it works for the fam. These kids are truly blessed either way. Congrats to Nick and Mariah
monroes are whorrrrreeeeees
Moroccan Cannon is not a great sounding name. Hopefully the kid gets a nickname or goes by his middle name.
Monroe Cannon, not as bad, but an odd name for a girl.
The article says they will call him Roc. Not great but better.
Agreed.... I thought the same thing. When naming a child, you need to take into consideration the sound of the first and last name together. The "can" at the end of the first name and at the beginning of the last".... "can can"? Seriously. I don't care if they're going to call him Roc or not, then he'll be "Roc Cannon" ... end of the first is still the same sound as the beginning of the last name. Maybe he can hyphenate it and go by "Roc Carey Cannon." Cause, you know, that sounds SO much better. *eyeroll*
When someone asks if you can smell what he's cooking, he can give them the peoples elbow.
What are people thinking when they give thier kids those wierd names?
NO WONDER they didn't reveal the names. They're HORRID.
Seriously? This is what they wanted everyone to GUESS???? And they're gonna call these kids Mo and Mo?
NO NO NO
Wow, you all wish it were you!! HATERS and your parents must be so dissapointed in how you turned out!
Can we please wipe out the word "Haters" from our vernacular? It's nauseatingly overused, and whenever someone has a different opinion, that word is screamed out. Seriously, it's time to put that lame word to rest.
Hater!
It's true – "haters" is overused and often misused. We are talking about opinions and there is no right or wrong opinion, so there is no 'haters'. But usually the less intelligent you are the more you swear and misuse words.
What if I misspell a word but technically did not misuse it... am I still less intelligent? And what if my errors are caused merely by lack of caffeine and overwork, mild confusion and a touch of the flu? I'm confused...will there be a quiz on this
Beautiful names congrats to the both if youds.
Monroe Cannon!!! It sounds like a copy machine.
A copy machine...that's pretty funny.
Thew new... Monroe Cannon. Now with soc.ial media updates direct from your copy machine... get it now, the new Monroe Cannon.
Engadget reviews it.
Why is everybody hating. we got those comments from bitter idiots
Their nicknames will be "MoMo the Little Monsters".
Oh leave them alone-the parents r really the ONLY ones who have 2 like the names -thats all that matters! It wasn't anybody descision but there own! The names could of been a lot worse! Congrats guys-u did good!
learn grammar, please.
At least they weren't named after a fruit. Can you imagine living 90 years with the name "Apple"
Let's say this out loud, shall we? "Moro Can-Can-non"....ummmm?
I agree, it doesn't really seem to work that well. I just feel sorry for little Morroccan if he wants to become a politician or a lawyer or something like that – he might not be taken very seriously :S
He'd probably go by his middle name, Scott.
sounds like a gun you'd find on a Moroccan pirate ship...and who names a kid after a room? I'm naming my next kid Bathroom...or Hall Closet
Lmao!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Everyone needs to stop complaining of kids that AREN'T THEIRS! Name your own children whatever feels appropriate to you, but don't go complaining about other parents' choices in names. I'm sure neither Nick or Mariah give a damn what you think anyways.
I can understand the Monroe, doesn't really sound too girly though but Moroccan? Because her apartment is called the Moroccan Room? Why not just go with Scott Canon? I wish them the best but her mother didn't stick her with a wierd name.
love the names.... they will be a million in ten years so much for standing out in the crowd hehe
WAT GOD HAS FA THEM IS FA THEM..... SO 2 EVERYONE WHO DONT LIKE THE NAMES THER NOT FA U 2 LIKE...... MAY GOD BLESS U MARIAH & NICK AN UR BABIES....
I don't even have a clue what you are saying.
Speak English. No one here understands Ebonics.
Wow, you are a retard. Let me guess, you are one of our great citizens who name their kids parkaysha and shaniqua?
Honey ... Mommy's told you not to use her computer until you begin kindergarten.
Kim, Evel Knievel, FLA and Sarah... you all just cracked me up! thanks for the laugh
WHAT?!?!! Is English your 4th language??!
Sorry I don't read ghetto myspace language.
WAT? FA? YOU ARE NOT TOO BRIGHT. YOU CANT ALWAYS SPELL WORDS PHONETICALLY. ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU DON'T SPEAK PROPER GRAMMAR. SOME WORDS HAVE SILENT LETTERS IN THE OKAY. NOW PUT YOUR HELMET BACK ON AND TAKE YOUR RESERVED SEAT IN THE BACK OF THE SHORT BUS. OH AND ALL OF MY LETTERS ARE IN CAPS BECAUSE I AM YELLING!!!!!
Firstly I want to say to everyone who teased the names of Mariah's babies, really should grow up and live their own lives. You really do not need to insult other people to make yourself feel better about yourself! And everyone of you who called Tiffany Newkirk a retard or anything like that, should really be ashamed of themselves! You really are not as awesome as you think you are and you need to come back to earth! Remember the higher you fly, the harder the fall will be... I really hope that my words made someone think a bit before they just try to crush somebody else!
I'm sure that Moroccan will thank them for that. Schoolyard nickname? Moron! Best case scenario? Morey Lucky he'll be rich anyway.
This just goes to show Mariah remains as crazy as a loon and Nick cant control her. They need some adult supervision.
Moroccan and Monroe? Sounds like a 70's dance to me!
Roc & Roe baby!
Hahahaha...hadnt even noticed that! Pretty Awesome!!! and has the makings of a future family band! I love Roc and Roe
Love that one..
Curly: HEY MO.
MO: What Muttenhead?
I was holding my breath before I read the article. The names really aren't as bad as I thought! Im sure Roc & Roe are gonna be their nicknames.
Poor little Moroccan the Moron is lying there thinking..."Please GOD kill me now".
If his nickname is Roc, I'm guessing hers will be Roe...............Roc & Roe (Rock&Roll)........:):) Funny – NOT
seriously anti-climactic.
@ Joel Moroccan means from Morocco dummy!!! So it's like her baby is not an American Scott, but a Moroccan Scott. And the joke in Morocoo and Egypt (Alicia keys baby name) they can't stand Americans. Can these people be ANY DUMBER!
Don't be hatin on mariah's babies names! She is the mother and she can name her kids what ever she wants to, and to all u haters out there ur just jelouse! Mariah I have loved u from the begining and no matter what people say ur gunna be a wonderful mom and there names are beautiful!
Oh barf! I love Mariah as a songstress....amazing voice BUT Morrocan sucks! Morocco would have been 100x better
They will probably be nicknamed Monny and Rocco! love it! yay Mariah!
Or they nicknames could be "M&M".
Will they be called Roc and Roe!!!!!!
To those who are being rude... Grow up and get off your lazy butts and get a life.. To those of you who were nicd thank you but to those who are rude shame on you. One day you will be judged for your actions and i wont feel sorry for you all.
@ Anon.
For now you can kiss my ass.
I wouldn't have expected anything less from her so I'm not surprised at all. She seems to live in LaLaLand all the time anyways, so this is more than appropriate for her. I am surprised she didn't go with the name bling and blang
Just dumb, but then she is such a dumb^&%, I feel sorry for the young man she married, he would have chosen better names.
Both names are nice.
Why is this news? Babies are named everyday. Even the ugly ones like these two. Wouldnt of surprised me if she name them Crapface or doookie Boy or Lemon or BugSpray. She has once again proven herself an unfit parent and she should be jailed.
These two creep me out--she's like 25 years older than him........ewwwwwwww gross
Haven't you guys ever heard, "If you can't say something nice then don't say anything at all." Not the names I would have chosen, but I am not one of the parents. The article says that they intend to call the boy Roc. Not typical, but that's okay. And Monroe is also not typical, but not bad either. As to whether the names sound feminie or masculine, that's been going on for years. Is Logan and Carson for boys or girls? My eight year old daughters' have boy and girl friends with those names. You don't have to like Mariah, but saying nasty stuff about her kids is uncalled for and unnecessary.
Let's hear it for Roc & Roe
They should have named the little boy ButtMunch.
Rock n Roe?
Its they're kids and they're life so leave their choices alone! Nick and Mariah if you want to name your children doodle birds like the people who are knockin you right now I will always love your music and your new family is very blessed! Congrats!
Good heavens people can anyone mind their business. Mariah and Nick have a right to name their babies as the please. I like unique names which they are. Leave them alone and let them enjoy the fruits of their long hard battle. Congratulations to the new mommy and daddy and God bless your new family.
@ tina.
Mariah and Nicki made is our business. No one ask about their two doodee bird kids. They thrust is upon us because they are so G D important.
I've met children named India, Africa, Egypt and America. They don't mind their names and either does anyone else. So, "Moroccan" is not that unusual and far easier than a name like "Adolphous." Frank Zappa named his children "Dweezil" and "Moon Unit" and they grew up to be fine. These children will be okay. Congrats to the happy couple. Look forwar to seeing pics of Baby Rock and his sister.
I see the mayonnaise sandwich eating trolls are out hating today on Nick and Mariah’s baby’s names. Who cares if you don’t like them? They are not your children and I’m sure richer than you’ll ever be! I say congrats!
Hey I think in the end these two kids will be called "ROC and ROE" I think it's kinda cute...better than Antonio Sabato junior's kids name
makalakahakala or what ever....
i am very happy for roc and ro. may they have a blessed life.
as soon as they are old enough they can/will change thier names. If you want the child to be called Roc, name him Roc Silly names both kids can be called Mo. Really consider what you burden a child with. Love to your beautiful family Mariah and Nick
All I can say is a HOT, GHETTO MESS!!!! Mariah, don't do those babies like that...give them a fair shake in the word – geesh!
I love their names! No worse than Gwenyth Paltrow naming her kid APPLE.
So Mariah has named her daugher after her inspiration Marilyn Monroe? Hmmm. I wonder what exactly Mariah found so inspirational about Marilyn ... her drug use, her affairs with married men, her abortion, her overdose, her instability. Perhaps next time, Mariah might try aiming a bit higher in terms of inspirational people.
With a name like Moroccan Im afraid his future job opportunities will be limited to say...bongo player.
So if they call him "Roc" they can call her "Roe"!
Moroccan?? Very unique ..... but its the name they chose for THEIR child....so i dont understand why any of you negative people feel you even need to write negative comments obout THEIR children. I LOVE MONROE CANNON..... beautiful name..... love unique names... I have two boys with unique names and spellings. So YAH for Mariah and Nick!
UNIQUE NAMES ! CANT WAIT TO SEE THE PIX
amen let's see the cute photos – never mind the names...
Albeit not fond of these names, it's what you come to expect from her–Over the Top and Out there. As long as the whole family is happy and healthy more power to them, God Bless.
Partents please don't try so hard to be unique, remember your poor children will carry this burden.
Why not Rocco and Marilyn?
Those names sound nice as well.
You all are seriously just a bunch of haters the names are unique and beautiful...I mean if Egypt (Alicia Keys and Swizz Beats)and Apple (Gwyneth Paltrow) are accepted then these are quite normal...so just SHUT THE F... UP
Everyone made fun of those names as well.............
Ridiculous!!!!!!!!!!
She shouldve named one of them Butt and the other Wiper.
"GO TO YOUR ROOMS BUTT WIPER"
Roc and Roe...har har har
Moroccan the moron. You know that's coming.
Oh good. When they get older we can look forward to them being awful actors and behaving as idiots like Will Smiths non-talented little rats.
@baby mama u aint even putting ur name here...nuff said!!!! Lmfao...go run grab a good name kwik and get ur a** back here
Black people and there "unique" names...LOL. Nothing unique about them as usually just a jumble of letters assembled in some asinine fashion that is dumb. Thats the bottom line.
Before you attempt to insult someone, please learn proper English
@ sharon.
Here is some proper pooper english for ya Bytch. *POOT* <–right in ya face.
You are an ignorant idiot and you have a nasty mouth and disposition. Troll!
Now you are being Racist! White people (Actors) name their kids unique names as well. Stop being a hater and a Racist!!
Glad they didnt decorate in Danish Modern or Early American. Ive heard worse names, but the parents WANT these kids and can AFFORD to care and raise them. GOD BLESS THEM ALL Im so happy for them!
I wonder if Mariah was thinking of Marshal Mathers (aka) Eminem, when she named her kids. lol
@ gibby.
Truth be told Eminem is probably the biological father.
Come on people. Let's respect their decision. If this are the names they liked that is their choice. It is also their choice
that their kids will be made fun of for the rest of their lives. Let's hope that when they reach 18 yrs. old they have common sense to change their names.
Do parents ever think of the consequences when giving their children dumb/goofy names ? Idiots. It's not like Mariah and Nick will be together forever. I mean eventually he's going to wake up and realize he married his Grandmother.
Moroccan will only care that he's fortunate to have Mariah Carey as his mother
we all love Mariah.
I wonder how increadibly all the "stars" manage to get twins? i have never heard of so many people getting that lucky. guess money can buy yoU whatever you want. congrats anyway
we are fans of hers.
They name be likes mines an my sista Reemakee meenin it be they own life. yall trip an be hatinn on they names why yall shuod shuddup .. we liteskin too boo so mariaa do ya thang boo! Nick like her mimi an yall bee hatin...downstammy@ymail.com is my im email
For the love of God speak ENGLISH.
There's nothing more pathetic than an ignorant person with a computer
I hope you are joking!
@Rashundameeka where the hell are you from? Another Planet? Speak English or leave the country!
With a name like Moron he will probably grow up to be gay as hell.
i agree, the names are really stupid, i think fame makes people lose their sense of what matters to their children in the future, then again, alot of people who are not famous also name their kids weird names. shame.
When do we get to see the little ring-tailed Lemurs.
The names suprised me also, I would have thought the names would be extra festive and over the top... but who cares, those are her kids and she can name them whatever she feels like.... They will live happy lives and will have more money than any of the people who left stupid comments for them...
ROC n' ROE?!!
I just got a $829.99 iPad2 for $117.37 and my girlfriend snagged an awesome $1299 MacBook Air for only $111.93, its being delivered tomorrow. I would be a fool to keep paying high retail prices at places like Walmart or BestBuy, when I even sold a 37" HDTV to my boss for $600 that I only paid $78.24 for. I use two sites, both are good, SwipeBay.com
and SnagBids.com
Will their nicknames be Roc and Roe...
Hey Anonymous, Judged, really? Judged by who? The name giggling police! Who needs to get a life, hmmmmm ?
I think the nicknames for these two children will most likely be Dumb & Dumber.
Oh man...do you two nitwits WANT your kids as*es to be kicked?
@ sharon an fla – yall be hatin on us u no we fine an we be gitten dat munney too so yall need to stop hatinn
dont be emeil me
Personally I an not a fan of Moroccan, I Monroe is super cute... I say kudos to them for picking out names that have special meaning to them... It's not like they have crazy names and there was no point to it. I think that they are unique and special to them...
The names are meaningless and crazy and stupid and arrogant.
I'm 6ft 220 2% body fat male......and that bastrd named me sue = (
Roc and Roe!!! Cute!!!
Mariah and Monroe are ho's
Did you even read the article ham bone? They might be stupid and meaningless to you but they aren't to Nick and Mariah... I'm sure those previous babies will love the fact that their parents gave that much thought to thier names... Get over yourself it isn't about you, it's about that family...
I think Monroe is a cute name. But Morrocan Scott Cannon has just about the worst flow ever. How materialistic does someone have to be to name their kid after their penthouse? At least they didn't go with Phantom.
With a name like Moroccan the boy will turn out to be gay.
With a name like Monroe the girl will turn out to be a street walker.
like the parents
Roc & Roe... lol
At least the kid is not called "eminem peed on mommy."
Or snuki
And for short, Mariah can call them: "Roc" and "Roe," for Moroccan and Marilyn! Ha!
I hope these two little toilet turdles werent born with any STD's or addicted to alcohol, cheap cigars, crack, watermelons, cadillacs, BBQ, pickled eggs and such.
Lets hope Mariah stays busy with these little rats and makes no more CD's.
I wonder if Nick at the afterBirth?
whatever! 99% of holly wood actors and actresses are on crack anyways
First and foremost, congrats to the new parents! Shame on all those that are being hateful, these are children that you're speaking of. Regardless of their name, it's one that everyone will remember and never forgotten.
I think that they should name the babies anything that they want. These names hold a special place in their hearts and that is good. And as far as you being married to someone 12 years younger, that is ok I am too and I have been married for 18 years so you go girl...
yeah, right. The kids looking to beat up that boy with the weird name will have a special place for him too – at the end
of their fists.
You frickn cougar.!!!....
WOW, CAN YOU BE ANY MORE HEARTLESS. These are innocent children. Nobody should judge them. People may not ike your kids's names ut will you care. And to say She should be jailed, for naming her precious children. Nonsense. They love them and that is all that Matters. As grown adults, I think you would all have better manners than what I am seeing through reading. God Bless their Family.
Giving a child an odd name that you never plan to use in full (he shall be Roc, say they) is nothing but a "look at me I'm so original" thing. Save that for your pets. You gave birth to a human, presumably, and he is more than an extension of your egos.
Ditto for the name Monroe. The last-name-as-a-first-name thing for girls began as an attempt to seem "old-money." Now it comes across and an announcement that the parents are insecure. For heaven's sake, it wasn't even MM's real name. If you really want people to know that you think you are MM, Mariah, call your daughter Marilyn.
Anyone else notice how MC and NC look an awful lot alike?
ssdddddddddd
Because Mariah does not have a middle name, she deprived her daughter of same? Guess she doesn't want her daughter to be better than her, not that a middle name makes one a better person. There will be lots of RAP music about these names.
What stupid names. Very disappointing.
Black people come up with THE stupidest names – by far. I once knew a woman who named her kids Pajama and LaTrine. In the military, Latrine is what they call the "toilet." Whatever they can do to get attention, even by having a ridcuous name, they'll do it.
I know mallates are stupid....one. mallate I know named his girl vanilla...lmfao...I'm like dude are you serious.......! ..por lil girl is black and they named her vanilla....omg....
Like you said attention....I don't know why....they aready get enough from the cops as it is and they still want more..lol
Only black people? What about gwyneth who named her daughter apple.
@Alex, stop being a racist pig!! White people name their kids unique names as well. Just because you are a Racist you dont have to be so damn rude.
It's getting to the point that actually respect an actor/whatever who gives their kid a normal name! Seems like all of these loons has to come up with something even more weird. And later they wonder why their kids are so screwed up. So if he propsed in her craft room or the bathroom would she name the kid craft or bath? so stupid.
Super. Set your son up for the nickname 'Mo. That's fab parenting right there.
Hi what's your name? I'm Morrocan. –ok......i'm white? No no I'm Morrocancanon.
OMG what ridiculous names. I was expecting something normal, and they come up with Monroe and Moroccan. Seriously? They might as well have named him Egyptian or Mongolian. You'd think they'd be more creative than that.
Love the names that were picked..they sounds very unique
OMG what ridiculous names. I was expecting something normal, and they come up with Monroe and Moroccan. Seriously? They might as well have named him Egyptian or Mongolian. You'd think they'd be more creative than that...
Congrats Mariah and Nick! Mariah has wanted motherhood for quite some time and I am happy her dream has finally come to fruition!
Yay! Congrats to them!
They actually did a survey once(I use they 'cuz I'm not sure exactly who did the survey) and they proved that people with 'weird' names actually do grow up having self esteem issues and are more likely to be depressed or commit suicide. Not sure the actual statistic, but I know it's true. I hope the kids grow up to like their names. I think Monroe is actually a pretty cool name myself.
I don't know why they didn't pick normal names like.(..walter, hank, clinton,bruke,hilary,nixo,or rose,sue,gorge,......why?why?
And I thought the trend of "Edna names" was bad – this takes the cake. Those poor kids.
To each their own, not a huge fan of "Morrocan" or "Roc" (he may go by "Mo") as a name, but at least they have meaning to them. I like that my mother named me based on the meaning and not how it sounds to others or if it was trendy!
Ok, time to put these worthless women in check. The parents are NOT the ones who have to deal with the name. THE KIDS DO !!! This is the most accepted form of child abuse. Screwed up names make screwed up kids. Their names must be changed because of selfish/ignorant parents. FACT. Take it from someone with a kid's name. IT SUCKS !!!
I had a dream long ago before Mariah was pregnant that she had a boy & girl twins. That part of the dream came true, but she named them Summer Rose & Romero Cruz. Oh well, maybe next time!
If people keep naming their kids all of these abnormal names when they get to school the kids won't know which kids to tease first...
I like there name
The kid can be called Morroco Mole after the cartoon lol
She couldn't name her daughter after Marilyn Monroe by naming her Marilyn? Oh well...to each her own!
It doesnt matter what their names are! They are what about a week old and got more money than everybody on here whining about their names! Grow up its Hollywood thats what they do its nothing new.
Me'kennessee, Me'mista, Corolla, Lexus, Diamondese....now Roc and Monroe...
Mo Ghetto names for mo Ghetto babies.
Im so happy for them. Can't wait to see the pix of dem babies!
You guys are wrong for criticizing them like that they went through so much trying to be with child. WOW you guys really show respect. SARCASM
I'm glad Mariah has these babies to focus on because musically she's pretty irrelevant at this point. Nick Cannon doesn't even qualify for has-been status. He's a never-was. Congrats to them both!
What the Hell stupid ass people!!! You sicken me when I read all the comments making fun of two precious children its not their fualt there parents are idoits and the names are a little werid but Kotoes for them for brancing out and naming their kids whatever the hell the way want so LAY OFF
Love the names...
Hey people on here judging lay off it's a free country people can name their kids whatever they want , suckers .
My fiance proposed to me at the movies. Guess my first child's name will have to be Cineplex Odeon.
Those of u who critisize ur all idiots they r stil so small nd young yet u talk of them lyk they are already famous bcause of thr names u r stupid freaks! Congrats nick nd mariah.
I don't understand! My neighbors have three kids–a boy and two girls. The boy is Nolanpeet (not two names, one), and the girls are TribecaRoze and NiteN"Gale. Crazy!
I guess since my husband proposed to me when i was sick my babies name will be theraflu.
Ok whats going on my name iz chilonia and they put my name under someone else's comment. CNN had better fix this pronto. I ain't having it.
Uhh that xfm person that wrote that reality check thing mind your business
Poor kids. Using this truly twisted logic, my children would've been named Dandy Don Hawke and Holly Baton Rouge Hawke. And why would someone look up to Marilyn Monroe? She was uneducated, married several times, and if the tabloids are even half right she was promiscuous. So are the happy couple going to be thrilled if their little girl grows up to be like Marilyn Monroe? Never mind how the little boy will turn out-being named for a room.
I hear Marylin swallowed Frank Sinatra's crank
Well when it comes down to it, I'm sure they don't give a crap what any of you think. These kids will have more money than all of us combined therefore their names will become popular and ppl will follow. That's the way society is. Lol congrats on your new family!!!!
I'm shocked she didn't name at least one of them after herself. No one loves Mariah Carey more than Mariah Carey!
Wow! Look at all the hate here, this is what's wrong with the world. Your mean children are going to be the ones poking fun at 2 innocent kids for something they had no control over. Aren't we free to name our kids whatever we want? Shame on all your nasty comments.
cocaine is a helluva drug.
Morroccan is ok if you like leather wallets. Monroe is the name of a character in the old TV show "too close for comfort"\
There are worse names then the ones the babies were given. Besides they can always change their names when they become adults. I wish the best of good health and happiness to Mariah and Nick and their babies but I am skeptical about their marriage lasting a long time. She is 12 yrs older then him. Oh well time will tell.
So, I guess if we have another kid it should be named Royal Decameron. Haha, that's where my husband proposed to me. I guess it's better than Radisson Decapolis, where the original plan to propose was! They could've shortened Moroccan to 'rocco' and it would have been a half way normal sounding name.
Wut the hell. why is yal hatein on dem. let them be. its ha kids. they are blessed..... there mama has the most prettiest voice eva. and it aint like u gave brith 2 them so leave mariah and nick alone. u will never be them so get some business and stay out theres...... imature ppl make me sick. stop actin like kids
The ones that really bother me the most for some reason are J. Lo's. On the surface, they're totally normal names. However, if you have kids of a certain age, you know Max and Emmy are the names of the kids on a cartoon called Dragon Tales. At least Mariah and Nick's have some originality and sentimental meaning. To steal them from a cartoon??? That's just lazy. It should be a big deal and you should put some thought into them. I'd say they did. They're weird as heck, sure...but at least they put in a little effort.
Parents should think about the kids when naming them........ they can change their names when they turn 21.
By then it is to late for them
Try having the name carma! talk about pick up lines. remember there is good carma and bad.
These kids have more money at 5 days old than you all would ever have in you lifetime. They can care less about their names. They are rich!
These kids have more money at 5 days old then you all will ever have in your lifetime.
My heart rejoice with you guys,Mariah and Nick congrstulation.
I hate it when people name their kids something stupid. don't get me wrong, i love mariah, but she's not exactly that bright.
hahahahah. Eminem is gonna have a field day with these names... Mariah, what were you thinking..
Monroe and Marocco... aka, M&M. aka, roflpwned.
Name the next fleshpuff that pops out Kunte Kinte. I hear thats a good name.
Congrats to Mr. and Mrs. Cannon, I think the names that you chose for the children were wonderful. God Bless you all!
Where did Adam and Eve ( no last name) ever get the idea to name their sons Cain and Abel? They made up those names. No wonder one killed his brother.
They didn't like George & Jeb. Fine American names.
And Mary and Joe David spelling their son's name with a " J " instead of a " G "
The correct spelling is Gee Zeus. What were they thinking? Some one save this kid
Mariah the Diva...but I really hoped she was more traditional with naming her children. She may change her mind and their names.
Congratulations to the happy couple!!!
I love your blog very Interesting post
All the haters. ...Really what it boils down to is that they are mad that these kids have more MONEY than they could ever make in a lifetime.... BEFORE they were born. Congrats to the Cannon family.
okay, you guys need to keed your mouths shut this is a knew baby and kids will pick on him if you show them its all right. Moroccan is a perfectly fine name. I bet no one else has it. So get worked!!!!!1
CONGRATULATIONS NICK AND MARIAH!!!!!!!!!! I hope you both take it all in, and enjoy your new blessings God has bestowed on you! I also hope that you turn a deaf ear, and a blind eye to the hateful, and ignorant comments from people. Enjoy each other, love each other, and congratulations! xo God bless you all xo
You people are all just mean....maybe if you werent thinking and you gave one of those names to your child. Just think about it, if you liked werid names that no one ever had you would give your child that name. Just leave that Happy Family alone in peace and happyness!
Y don't u people get a life and stop talkin bout people's kids

Yum, mayonnaise sandwiches! Love Monroe for the girl.
pmsl! “@cstanaway: interesting characters on the Tan today-a couple running in their togs,& one fella using a 'Baby Bjorn' to carry his dog”
Yes, this man is carrying his dog in a baby Bjorn #dogs http://instagr.am/p/J98qb/
Its roc and roe. Like rock and roll.... N they will be happy with their names, and who really cares what ppl think. Its not like other ppl do anything better, and even ppl that aren't in hollywood have some pretty messed up names. Leave them alone, or better yet. Get a life! Thanks. And congrats to the beautiful family *
Lucky to look at it and write someting here. Quite week!
Me personally think that the names or not bad. When you name your child you name them what you like not what others like in that cases everybody would have the same name if we depend on others opinions.
As crazy as Mariah is Im surprised the name arent something like Doo Doo Sandwich and Turd Salad.
Pick on someone your own age!!!
REMEMBER THAT THEY'RE BABIES!!! They themselves did nothing to deserve these mean spirited attacks! Mariah and Nick are the celebrities not the babies, so attack them. Oprah your just mad that your old and can't have any kids!
I have jungle fever : )
Be quiet, @Choco.
OOOOOH MY! That lil Monroe is SO CUTE. I want to pee pee on her.
You sound so ignorant, maybe that's what you should be called!
Perhaps I could rename you. That's just RUDE!
However that's how they'll look and feel. Nick Cannon reminds me of Mr. Hankey.
So true!
Why don't you walk 3 feet from the back of your trailer to the front and eat a mayonnaise sandwich and STFU, you racist troll!
