In Today’s Edition of Ridiculous Celebrity Baby Names….May/December Lovers Nick Cannon and Mariah Carey would like you to send a big “How Do?!” to the newest members of The Carey-Cannon Clan: (Drumroll please…) Moroccan Scott and Monroe Cannon.
Yeah….We’re not talking Apple and Moses or Pilot Inspektor and Coco, but pretty high up there on The WTF? Meter nonetheless.
It’s a good thing they’ll never need “regular” jobs…
“Mariah & Nick reveal the names of #dembabies Monroe Cannon & Moroccan Scott Cannon!” a Tweet posted to Carey’s Twitter.com account read Wednesday.
According to a statement on the “Obsessed” singer’s website, son Moroccan shares his middle name with his dad. His first name was inspired by the top floor of Mariah’s lavish New York City apartment — dubbed The Moroccan Room; it’s the same place where Cannon, 30, popped the question to Carey back in 2008. Daughter Monroe was named after screen legend Marilyn Monroe, a lifelong inspiration for mom Mariah. Like her mother, Monroe does not have a middle name.
The 41-year-old singing superstar gave birth to the twins at an undisclosed hospital in Los Angeles at 12:07 PM EST on Saturday.
Monroe was born first, weighing 5 pounds, 3 ounces, and was 18 inches long. Slightly-younger brother Moroccan arrived moments later. He was at 5 pounds 6 ounces, and was 19 inches.
