Mariah's Kids Have Typically Self-Obsessed Names.

 
Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon have announced the manes of their two little bundles of joy to the world. Typically for Mariah, we were teased with a hint yesterday, when it was announced that both names start with an 'M'...M for Mariah. Of course.

So, drumroll please......welcome to the world babies Monroe Cannon and Moroccan Scott Cannon!

Morrocan is named for the country in which Nick proposed to Mariah, and also for the top level of Mariah's Manhatten penthouse, whch is called 'The Moroccan Room'. The couple will refer to their son as Roc for short. Scott is both Nick's middle name and his grandmother's maiden name, which is a fairly standard convention for a lot of families to follow.

Monroe is named for Marilyn Monroe, who Mariah says has always been an inspiration to her. Like Mariah (and me), Monroe has no middle name; one is enough for those amongst us who have that special appeal...

Mariah Has Her Babies!

Congratulations to Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon, who have welcomed their twins into the world today. It's a double whammy of celebrations for the couple, as today also happens to be their fourth wedding anniversary!

Mariah , 42, had her little'uns at an undisclosed LA hospital, where her baby girl arrived first weighing 5lbs 3oz, and was shortly followed by a brother, who weighed in at 5lbs 6oz.

In true Mariah fashion, the family listened to her classic track 'We Belong Together' after the birth.

There are no deets on the names as of yet, but Nick told People magazine in January that their kids will not be having strange celebrity names. He said "They won't be crazy names like Carburetor or something," he promised. "But they're definitely unique."
