What are the names of Mariah Carey's twins?

Mariah Carey’s twins are named Monroe and Moroccan. She had the fraternal twins with entertainer Nick Cannon on April 30, 2011.

The names were chosen with personal meanings. Monroe was named after actress Marilyn Monroe, an icon Carey has cited as an influence. Moroccan was named after the Moroccan-style room in Carey’s New York City apartment, where Cannon proposed to her. The twins’ names are often discussed together because they were born on the couple’s wedding anniversary, exactly three years after their 2008 marriage.

The children are sometimes referred to by family nicknames rather than their given names. Moroccan is commonly called “Roc,” while Monroe is often called “Roe.” Carey and Cannon have also used the playful phrase “Dem Babies” when speaking about them, but that is a nickname, not their names.

Because “Mimi” is Carey’s personal nickname and “Roc” and “Roe” are shortened forms, those alternatives can cause confusion. The canonical answer is Monroe and Moroccan.
