Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon reveal twins' names

It's M&M for Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon -- that would be Moroccan Scott and Monroe.

The couple had hinted on Tuesday that the names of their newborn twins, born on Saturday, would both begin with an "M." Their son is named Moroccan Scott Cannon and their daughter is named Monroe Cannon, the couple just announced on Carey's official website.

Scott is both the middle name of Cannon, 30, and his grandmother's maiden name. And, in keeping with tradition, their daughter, Monroe, didn't get a middle name because Carey herself doesn't have one. She was, however, named after Marilyn Monroe, who has been an inspiration to Carey, 42. Moroccan gets his name from the top level of Carey's New York apartment, which features Moroccan-inspired décor. It's also the site of where Cannon popped the question. The newborn twins were born on Carey and Cannon's third anniversary. To mark the special occasion, they had Rev. Al Sharpton join them in the hospital to renew their wedding vows.
