Mariah Carey Has Questionable Baby Naming Logic
The Associated Press reports on the latest celebrity baby news. Let’s carefully unpack this one. It’s a doozy!
NEW YORK ”” Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon have revealed the names they’ve picked out for their newborn boy and girl:
Wait for it…
Moroccan and Monroe.
Hrm. I know this is an intensely personal decision — and this will quite possibly sound craven — but I’m beginning to wonder if celebrities shouldn’t consult with their publicists before they go ahead and choose names for their kids. I think they could greatly benefit from some hard-charging, Debi Mazar-type angrily informing them that the portion of America educated enough not to blindly follow popular culture might well find such names a source of mockery. Then again, maybe Bronx Mowgli finally set the bar so low celebrities need not fear giving their kids an unduly bizarre name.
Now that we’ve endured my snark, here’s to hoping that these kids grow into their unusual names and Mariah and Nick defy the law of Hollywood Marriage Averages and create a happy family!
