Mariah Carey announces baby names.

"The couple finally revealed their babies' names on Carey's blog (via Us Magazine). Their baby girl is named Monroe Cannon after Marilyn Monroe -- Carey's icon of inspiration.

Monroe's brother will go by Moroccan Scott Cannon. The top floor of Carey's New York City apartment is called the 'Moroccan Room' due to it's North African aesthetic. The luxurious space is also where Cannon proposed to Carey in 2008. Cannon's son also shares the same middle name, Scott, as his actor dad."

Re: Mariah Carey announces baby names.

  • OMG i was going to post this too! AWFUL!!! Monroe is better than Moroccan but still totally LAME.

    i heard that Moroccan was given a middle name, but since Mariah doesn't have a middle name, Monroe wasn't.

    Me:39 Dx LPD, Fibroid, AMA and all that goes with that. H:37 Dx low motility and low morphology. TTC since 3/12. Clomid 8/12 and 9/12: BFN. 11/12 on a break for Myomectomy sched. 11/26. Resume TTC early 2013.
  • I like Monroe, I dont like Moroccan. Couldnt they come up with anything better??

  • You name your kids after you pent house suite?!?! Really?? I really dislike Moroccan.

    I'm not crazy over Monroe either but at least the reasoning is better. I think it sounds boyish.

  • Not a fan of either of them. And I think it's odd that you'd give one of your twins a middle name and not the other.

  • I don't mind Monroe, but think it's more of a boy's name.  Moroccan sucks...Morocco might have made more sense.

    I don't mind the middle name thing, but I hate that they named their kids after a room and a dead lady.

  • when i think of monroe for a boy this is all i can think of:

    In my mind I keep thinking Morocco instead of Moroccan.

    Ditto! I had a male cat named Monroe, I don't think its a great name either. Blech Mariah, blech!

    it's too close for comfort. it was a sitcom in the 80s set in san francisco. the dad was a cartoonist and the girls lived in an apartment below the parents. they had a goofball friend who would come over named monroe. he is the guy in the striped shirt in the picture. the dad used to get pissed at him all the time because he was always screwing things up. he would yell, "monroe!!!!!"

  • I hear "Moroccan" and I think of belly-dancers and big, red pillows on the floor.. totally not a person's name. And Monroe sounds perfect for a male cat, not a female human.

    And Kelli was fretting about Jackson! At least it sounds like a human name

     

  • I'm actually surprised she didn't go more "far out". Monroe doesn't bother me at all - in fact I'm surprised there are no more girls named that considering people love to name kids after celebrities.

    Moroccan is really hard to say and it's just really strange. Maybe they'll call him Mo.

    Stick out tongueha ha, i remember this sitcom now that you mention it....i used to watch it with my dad...he got a kick out of it.  That being said, I kinda like "Monroe" as a girl's name...."Morocco" is kinda weird, but to each their own.  I heard that his nickname will be "Roc".  That's easier to blurt out when he gets in trouble I suppose...
