Our friends at New York Magazine say: Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon announced this afternoon that their twins are named Monroe and Moroccan Scott Cannon. Daughter Monroe, named after Marilyn Monroe, does not have a middle name. Son Moroccan - Moroccan! - is not in fact named for the nation of Morocco, but rather for the room in Carey and Cannon's home that is bedecked in Moroccan decor.
We here at BV say: Awesome.

I kinda like Monroe, but Moroccan is a hot mess. Hopefully his nickname will be Mo. Why set this child up to be picked on?

When you're famous you can pretty much get away with anything. If they do it others will follow.

IF she was going to name her daughter after Marilyn Monroe, why not Marilyn, instead of giving that baby girl a mans name. And Moroccan? Come on MeMe.

Listen, people can name their children anything they want, its their option to do as they please this is America. As long as they are happy with it, you be happy.

Could they be named after (deceased) president James Monroe and retired wrestler Don Muraco? How about old country singer Del Monroe and the Moroccan restaurant down the block? Seriously, as long as it isn't Moon Unit and Dweezil (the Zappas)! When the kids grow up there is such a thing as an attorney helping you change your name.
