Diva Mariah Carey made headlines last week, following the fairytale birth of her and husband Nick Cannon’s twins (a boy and girl) – on their 3rd wedding anniversary.
Given the ‘out there’ nature of mother dearest, focus immediately shifted to what names the pair had concocted for their offspring.
Now, speculation can be laid to rest, after Carey’s rep lifted the lid on the youngster’s names.
Find out what Mariah and Nick chose after the jump. And yes, they’re “Hollywood”.
Speaking exclusively to CNN, Carey’s longtime manager Cindi Berger revealed that the couple’s daughter is named Monroe Cannon – in tribute to movie star Marilyn Monroe, who has been a lifelong inspiration to the singer. No middle-names for the little diva, as quote-unquote ‘mother doesn’t have one’.
The couple’s son, according to the report, has been christened Moroccan Scott Cannon. With Scott serving as Nick’s middle name, as well as his grandmother’s maiden name. And Moroccan being drawn from the top-tier room in their home called the Moroccan Room. Beyond its Moroccan-inspired decor, it’s also the place where Nick proposed to his wife, overlooking Manhattan. {Source}
We, here at That Grape Juice are elated for Mariah and co. As anticipated, the names are…very Mimi!
From a musical standpoint, though, it’d be great to see the youngsters provide fresh inspiration for mother. No more cookie-cutter playground songs, or ill-fitting dresses. Here’s to a new chapter.

love mimi!! the kids will be gorgeous!!!
Monroe is cute, but the boy’s name would’ve been better as Morocco.
“THOUGHTS?”
No….none at all.
O__o
Nice names.
More appropriate names would be “Holstein” for the boy and “Heifer” (aka Heffa – for the hood rats here) for the little chica. Considering they were gestating for 14 mos in the fat cow they seem quite appropo. The name of the farm, however, is kept private by the happy couple. Just sayin.
I DID NUMEROLOGY ON THE BABYS NAMES AND BIRTH DAY THE NAME SOUND FUNNY BUT THE ARE GOOD STONG NAMES TO THE MARIAH FANE DO THE NUMOROLOGY FOR THE BABYS ITS ALL GOOD………
Ooops, forgot to note the soucre — CNN.
Monroe is a cute name
but I’m also not feeling Moroccan Scott
….If I was her I would have named the Girl Hollywood and the Boy Sir Scott!
@ MUSIC LOVER
Are you a teenager? Because you are such a hateful little spirit. Let me guess, you’re a follower of Gaga? Well doesn’t that explain everything!
Moroccan?! ;erwl5fgu3yi4ufoio2
They are FOOLS.
Monroe’s cute, I don’t love it but it doesn’t sound bad at all. I’m not feeling Moroccan at all, but hey, it’s Mariah — you would expect something like this, right? At least she didn’t name him Rainbow Butterfly 😀
I couldn’t agree more with you Sam, I’m waiting to see if she’s taking on a new direction with her music. Her Xmas album was beautiful but she needs to create something new & vibrant.
Meanwhile she better takes her time & enjoy it with dembabies.
@IREMEMBERME
IM YO MAMA! DEAL WITH IT. #Loser
When I heard they both had M names I bet money they would be named Maggot and MudButt!
Y’all need to step off. You have no right to judge what a woman names her damn children.
Love the names!
LOVE MIMI!
Why are people saying hateful things about what they name their children ? Lets see some of your names…Ohhhhh I thought so!
Those names are foolish, those poor babies! They better just call the boy Rocco instead of Moroccan! Ugh I cant with these tacky Hollywood names.
@MUSIC LOVER – And your name should have been Lucifer Satan, appropriate for the evil and wicked mind that could so easily conjure up nothing but hate for two innocent, harmless children of God.
Anyway, personally don’t like them but they’re their children, as long as they’re happy with them that’s fine by me.
Great names! That Mariah always finds a really cool concept with a lot of meaning behind it when it comes down to this stuff.
@Stevone – I remember a book I read that lines up your names with numbers and the one thing that stuck with me was the mention of how most “M” names are great for show business and have a lot of power in them(it makes me think of MJ, Mariah and Madonna).
*Update*ThePagewithroyalkev.b*******.com
I love the names. I expected something more strange…
I see the shade has begun again for Mariah here on TGJ now that Trent´s gone. I don´t understand what is it with Sam: it´s clear he loves Mariah cos just this Xmas his top 5 songs of 2010 included the Mariah duet with her mom. Yes a f****** Xmas song one of the best of the year b******. So I know he can´t help but love her music. So why all the shade he has always thrown into Mariah??? Is he jelous???
The names are amazing! Now Mariah just needs to make a good comeback and show these singers what MUSIC actually is! O and beat The Beatles 😉 x
really? monroe and moroccan scott are “really mimi”? whatever…. b*** kissers!
OMGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG
OOOO MYYY GODDDDDDDDDD
MY QUEEENNNN
AMAZING NAMESSSSSSSSS
ONLY MARIAH
BOW TO THE QUEEN, B******
Morrocan? Naming a baby after inhabitants of a country. Hmm, interesting.
Luv Mariah & Nick and I’m sure the babies are as cute as they are. Yea for Monroe, boo for Moroccan.
Awwww Good for them !!!
And Monroe Carey is a certified diva already !
Congrats to the new parents. Love Monroe but not feeling the Moroccan thing. But love that he shares Nicks middle name. Cool.
What?? Ummmm……
These seem like media buzz names…like Pathrow’s “Apple” or Cruse’s “Suri” (sp)! Whatever, I just hope they are healthy!

What stupid names for a fat stupid w**** and her alcoholic-born kids.
Manish I’ll suck your d*ck if you let me back into CW…PLEASE!!!!
Cow and Buffulo 😉
Monroe is going to be a ho & Moroccon is going to be a druggie …just wait..!
@ARE YOU SERIOUS
gaga has destroyed your soul
_____________________________________________________________________
i think both names are beautiful simply cause they are both inspired, they aren’t random names. maybe this site should be reformed, the amount of bitterness spewed here is beginning to concern me. how can people be so blackhearted???
Don’t ask me why, but I think Moroccan sounds very cute.
These are little babies, gosh people have some respect!
I don’t mind Monroe, but Morrocan??? O_o
Oh well, as long as the children are healthy.
what’s going on
?
Fact: Mariah’s love black Morrocan d***!
🙁
YAY!!! THE NAMES ARE ADORABLE!!!! I CANT WAIT TO SEE THE BABIES!!!!!!
First Of All’ Marilyn Monroe was not even Marilyn Monroe’s real name. It is still a nice name though. She should have named her daughter Marilyn. Her son, I guess they will be calling him Rocco for short; and unless he grows into some “afro-centric” type guy, he will be using the name Scott more. It sound more “White-American”.
no more about these babies..dang..let them live..Uggs Giving Away Stuff After PETA called them out.. http://goo.gl/OeFMB to Get Consumers to Support them….haha got 2 pair!
wow thast diffrent but its her kids!
I’m Shocked she didn’t name her kids Dolce & Gabanna! LOL! You know how over this top Ms. Moo Moo is….looking like a pregnant Kangaroo with a long Beyance weave in that pic. I can’t with her………..NEXT!
I don’t think naming their son after the people of Morroco was the best idea.
I remember many years ago when Mariah stated that she would like to name her daughter Ginger. Perhaps after Ginger on Gilligan’s Island? I hope the kids are well, and healthy.
nice names! so original
At first the names do sound a little strange…
But then…
Monroe Cannon
Moroccan Scott Cannon
You quickly get used to it and they just sound right the way they should be…
Nice original names… 🙂
(The disrespectful satanic haters go to hell – you belong together…)
MOROCCAN
out of all the names in the world they choose the term for psychotic hoodlum
i guess.
child is lucky that he can change his name later on in life.
he is lucky to be a US native and not Dutch. Moroccan in Holland=fcked up
I’ll take Monroe, it’s unique. But Moroccan Scott? no. These celebs go too far with these names, Naming kids Apple, n Planes and after their fathers (see Bobbi Kristina) smh. But whatever.
Names are cute. I love the fact that they use Moroccan to remind them of were they meet.
And as long as they don’t grow up to be like that crack head Bobby Brown and Whitney Houston’s equally crack head daughter Bobby Kristania then all we be well. But we know that Mariah and Nick have class while those 2 washed up crackheads don’t know what it means.

Hi! I understand this is kind of off-topic but I needed to ask. Does managing a well-established website such as yours require a massive amount work? I’m brand new to operating a blog but I do write in my diary everyday. I’d like to start a blog so I can share my personal experience and views online. Please let me know if you have any suggestions or tips for new aspiring blog owners. Thankyou!
