Singer
Mariah Carey and husband
Nick Cannon named twins Moroccan
Scott '
Roc' Cannon (boy) and
Monroe Cannon (girl).
Explanation:
"
Scott is both the middle name of Cannon, 30, and his grandmother's maiden name.
Carey and Cannon's daughter did not receive a middle name because the singer herself doesn't have one.
As for the inspiration behind the names,
Monroe was named after
Marilyn Monroe, who has been an inspiration to
Carey, 42, while Moroccan comes from the top-tier of
Carey's New
York City apartment, which features Moroccan-inspired décor and was also the site of Cannon's marriage proposal."
-I'd have liked
Marilyn, and even Morocco would have been tolerable in light of the place name craze, but this:-(
Monroe is all male to me, and naming your son an adjective and a nationality that you have no connection to!?
ETA: I just realized that his name is Moroccan Cannon! REALLY not a good idea, imo.
