Monroe (girl) and Moroccan Scott (boy)

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

Harlow is to close to Harlot for me.

I've read somewhere today that Moroccan is named after the Moroccan-themed bedroom in their house where Mariah's husband proposed (thank god he didn't propose in the toilet or kitchen) - and that he's to be known as Roc. Whatever the reasons for the names, I still don't like either - a form of child abuse IMO Blush.

Jesus Emma it gets worse! Imagine telling people you were named after your parents bedroom wallpaper.
Whats the betting he changes his name to John as soon as he hits 18?

And another thing (!) why do people like Mariah and Nicole Ritchie name their children after the surname of someone they admire? Why not Marilyn or Jean? Are there any other examples of this?

Threelittleducks · 06/05/2011 09:55

Pa ha ha ha ha ha ha!!

I'm beginning to consider it a hobby of mine to mock ridiculous baby names.

Threelittleducks · 06/05/2011 09:56

Moroccan and Marollin

EightiesChick · 06/05/2011 09:59

Giving your son an adjective for a name? Fluffy would have been better.

Plus when the thought was that Moroccan was the name of the building, it made me think of all the kids who would be called Semi-Detached.

Agree that Monroe sounds OK by comparison. They may well end up being Roe and Roc or something else that sounds like a short-lived 90s dance act.

SoupDragon · 06/05/2011 10:01

Moroccan is utterly stupid. fancy saddling your child with such a crap name, its cruel IMO. The ony saving grace is that he can just use Scott.

MsChanandlerBong · 06/05/2011 10:03

I'm sure having multi-millionaire parents will help soften the blow for them of having such strange names...

DuelingFanjo · 06/05/2011 10:18

I love Mariah Carey, she can do no wrong IMO.

MerryMarigold · 06/05/2011 10:43

I STILL wish I'd given my twins names beginning with the same sound. Poor things get called 'Wiss' and 'Woo', so 'Roe' and 'Rock' aren't bad really.

MerryMarigold · 06/05/2011 10:45

Harlow is a god forsaken place, leftblank. I'd rather go to Morocco Grin

ilovesprouts · 06/05/2011 11:17

poor kids

hester · 06/05/2011 11:29

She could shorten Monroe to Mo. Oh hang on, she could shorten Morocco to Mo too. Girl Mo and Boy Mo.

EightiesChick · 06/05/2011 11:57

They could be Mo-Mo!

FoofffyShmoofffer · 06/05/2011 12:02

Moroccan Scott makes him sound like one of those dodgy blokes down the pub.

Welsh Dave (knocked off cigs)
Fat Kev (Does the booze cruise)
Moroccan Scott (it's in his name)

Sidge · 06/05/2011 12:21

LOL at Foofffy.

In the bizarre world of SlebLand those names aren't that outrageous.

Terrible, but not too outrageous.

I thought she'd go for something more cutesy and twee like Precious and Pavlova or summat.

happywheezer · 06/05/2011 12:31

I was expecting Mariah to pick more stupid names than what she has given her twins.
I expected Jordan names here.
I don't get either why she couldn't have called her daughter Marilyn -too ordinary I suppose
Good luck to her, she waited long enough for them.

pawsnclaws · 06/05/2011 13:01

I know a baby named Harlow. The parents aren't English. I was born in Harlow, and wish the place the very best, but honestly really it isn't somewhere you would generally wish to commemorate in a child's name.

MrsDrOwenHunt · 06/05/2011 13:14

lolol paws know what u mean!!

Amiable · 06/05/2011 13:38

Apparently the little girl is named after Marilyn Monroe, so why not just chose Marilyn?

As for the boy being named after Mariah's favourite decor - words fail me. I suppose it's better than "Stencil" or "Limewash" Grin

leftblank · 06/05/2011 13:40

Haha! Well I like Harlow! I know it's a place but I like the sound. I will NEVER use it though.

Gingefringe · 06/05/2011 13:41

Not only do the poor kids have to suffer their ridiculous names but also having a complete weirdo attention-seeker for a mum

Newgolddream · 06/05/2011 15:38

Ashlee Simpsons sons middle name is Mowgli? Was that not what the Gremlins were in the film?

Psammead · 06/05/2011 15:40

How very Roc and Roe. Boom boom.

Ithankyou.
