"By now you&amp;amp;#8217;ve probably heard that Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon welcomed twins last weekend. But maybe you haven&amp;amp;#8217;t heard how they chose the names for the babies &amp;amp;#8212; and how Nick&amp;amp;#8217;s marriage proposal inspired one name. So the baby girl&amp;amp;#8217;s name is Monroe, after Mariah&amp;amp;#8217;s idol Marilyn. End of that story. The baby boy, on the other hand, is named Moroccan. Not Morocco. Moroccan. You see, &amp;amp;#8220;Moroccan&amp;amp;#8221; is the name of a room in Mariah Carey&amp;amp;#8217;s multi-floor New York City apartment (what, you don&amp;amp;#8217;t name the rooms in your home?). She calls it the Moroccan room because of the Middle Eastern details that decorate the space. One fateful night early in the celebrity couple&amp;#x27;s relationship, Nick decided to pop the question in said Moroccan room. Three years to the day after their wedding, their twins were born, first Monroe, and then their son, whom they decided to name after the room in which they got engaged. Luckily (depending on how you look at it), Mariah didn&amp;amp;#8217;t name her son after the setting for her second proposal (yes, she had two). Nick whisked her away on a helicopter. Though Helicopter Cannon has a nice ring to it, doesn&amp;amp;#8217;t it? What would your child&amp;amp;#8217;s name be if you named him after the spot where your guy proposed? (Mine would be Jean XXIII, a small Parisian garden.) How would you feel about sharing your wedding anniversary with your children&amp;amp;#8217;s birthday like Mariah and Nick are doing? If you&amp;amp;#8217;re planning on having kids, would you let your proposal story--or relationship, in general--inspire their names?
