Yesterday Mariah Carey teased her millions of twitter followers by telling them that she would soon announce the names of her twins. She also invited her fans to get involved in a little guessing game — choosing names that begin with the letter M.
After 24 hours and tons of speculation, MC took to Twitter to make the big announcement.
The singer and her husband Nick Cannon named their son Moroccan Scott Cannon. Scott is Nick’s middle name, as well as his grandmother’s maiden name. The top-tier of the couple’s New York City apartment has a Moroccan themed room, which happens to be where Nick proposed.
Their daughter’s name is Monroe Cannon. The baby girl is named after Marilyn Monroe, someone Mariah says she was inspired by her whole life. The baby girl was not given a middle name because her mother Mariah doesn’t have one.
It looks like the new parents have already given their twin bundles nicknames. Mariah’s latest tweet: “Roc and Roe! Let’s go!”
