Mariah Carey looked to Marilyn Monroe for name inspiration

Mariah Carey is not a star who does anything by half, normal is not on her radar.
The R&B diva has fraternal twins with ex-husband Nick Cannon and although she picked unusual monikers, both have stories behind them.
Mariah chose Monroe for her daughter after Hollywood icon Marilyn Monroe, while the name Moroccan was picked for their son because Nick had proposed to the singer in her Moroccan-style room.
However, like most kids the twins have been given nicknames and are fondly known as Roc and Roe.
