Congratulations to our favorite weirdly childish, candy-loving couple, Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon, on the birth of their twins over the weekend... and also for naming one of them after a room in their home. The girl has been bequeathed with Monroe, as in Marilyn, which is kind of cheesy but not really all that bad, especially once we learned that the boy is named Moroccan Scott, after the top-floor room in Mariah's New York penthouse that's decorated, shockingly, with a Moroccan theme (and fine, it's also where Nick proposed to her, with a ring hidden in a Pop Rocks wrapper).
The couple, who married after six weeks of dating but have done a surprisingly good job of keeping it together since then, also celebrated their third anniversary over the weekend, where they renewed their marriage vows in a ceremony presided by none other than Rev. Al Sharpton. ABC reports that the couple drove to the hospital in their Rolls-Royce Phantom, and listened to Carey's song "We Belong Together," together, after the twins were born.
Check out Mariah's crib from a few years back, and just be thankful she didn't name her baby girl Jacuzzi.
