Moroccan Scott Cannon

Moroccan Scott Cannon is not Moroccan, as the seven-year-old will likely have to explain to people for the rest of his life. He's the son of rapper and comedian Nick Cannon and the world-famous singing diva Mariah Carey, and has a twin named Monroe. He probably envies his sister for her comparatively normal name.

Usually, there's a story behind a name that's so unusual, and there is in this case. It just isn't necessarily a good one. The child is called 'Moroccan' because the decor in the room in which Cannon proposed to Carey was Moroccan in theme. That isn't the strongest reasoning we've ever heard of, and we can't help but wonder if the same strategy would have been employed had the proposal happened in the kitchen, or in the bathroom. At least she hadn't decked her home out in a Venetian theme at the time, because that may have been even worse.
