Monroe (girl) and Moroccan Scott (boy)

Monroe's not bad, but poor boy having two nationalities for a name! Hmm

Moroccan Scott sounds like some sort of workplace nickname (to distinguish between the various Scotts by highlighting his nationality or the fact he once threw up in a Moroccan restaurant or some such...

KikkiK · 05/05/2011 13:10

I think they're both a bit weird, especially Moroccan.

And I feel sorry for little Monroe having only one strange name when her brother has one weird one and one normal one two. Apparently, Mariah doesn't have a middle name so her daughter's not getting one either. Hmm

mandoo · 05/05/2011 13:15

what?!!!!

Why do these bloody women do it to their children. Both awful names.

pinkgirlythoughts · 05/05/2011 13:21

I think Monroe got off slightly better than Moroccan did, but there's not much in it, to be honest. They're both fairly rubbish names.

bigbumum · 05/05/2011 13:23

Shes fecking bonkers though isnt she, mad as a mad thing.

MsChanandlerBong · 05/05/2011 13:25

And Moroccan sounds like it is grammatically incorrect. Surely Morocco would have been bonkers enough, without making it the nationality rather than the place?!

MollysChamber · 05/05/2011 13:27

Moroccan is so bad it makes Monroe seem okay.

ScarlettWalking · 05/05/2011 13:33

Morrocan

Pmsl

pranma · 05/05/2011 13:34

Maybe she will use Scott for everyday....or Rocco........or Morrie
I can see Monnie and Morrie :)

kreecherlivesupstairs · 05/05/2011 13:35

Utterly bizarre. Both.

rachel1970 · 05/05/2011 13:38

Interesting choice. Moroccan shortened to Morrie is quite cute though. Monroe, not sure that sounds very feminine...

Haha I definitely agree Monroe just seems good in comparison.

MrsChanandlerBong - that was my thought too, it also makes the (admittedly quite cute) nickname Rocco work better. Crazy!

Maybe that's what gave her the, ahem, "inspiration" mandoo Wink

I have used to have a nice recipe for Morroccan Brownies Wink

megapixels · 05/05/2011 16:00

On TV this morning they said that Morroccan was named after the building they live in Hmm Grin. And Monroe doesn't sound like a girl's name does it, more like a surname. Poor kids

Emelene · 05/05/2011 19:39

What gets me is that they're not Moroccan!
I'm not keen on Monroe either.

thisisyesterday · 05/05/2011 19:41

Moroccan is bizarre! I agree that Morocco would have been better.

"what's your name?"
"Moroccan"
"Are you? ok, but what's your name?"
"Moroccan!"
"yes... but what's your bloody name????"

RnB · 05/05/2011 19:47

yes I agree Morocco would be better, Rocco for short

rofl

Neither of them are names.

can't type for laughing, or see for the tears of mirth welling up.

Worst celeb names ever?!

MollysChamber · 05/05/2011 21:14

Sparrow is Nicole Ritchies son. Harlow her daughter. Both fecking awful.

As is Bronx Mowgli - Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz's son.

Sometimes there is a good reason that names are "unique".....

pixiestix · 05/05/2011 21:43

Moroccan? Moroccan???

For. Fucks. Sake.

peeriebear · 05/05/2011 21:46

Monroe is a snotty teenager from a comic strip in MAD magazine. To me, anyway.
Moroccan? Sweet buttery Jesus.

leftblank · 05/05/2011 22:12

I like Harlow.

These 2 names though...urgh

It's like they've tried to be clever, and failed spectacularly.
