10 Ridiculous Names Celebs Gave Their Babies

9. Mariah Carey - Moroccan Scott

When you think of a celebrity with diva-like tendencies, there's more often than not one name which everyone will agree upon: Mariah Carey. She hit huge success very early in her career and has been a global superstar since the age of 18, with more money than any mortal person would be able to spend in one lifetime. Simultaneous to her growth in fame has come a developing bizarreness in some of her actions away from her singing. First of all, no one can ever forgive her for her efforts at being an actress, with Glitter in particular being an abomination upon the universe, but the aforementioned riches that she could no doubt swim in seem to have trapped her in a bubble world of her own, as common sense where the naming of children is involved has gone AWOL. When Carey gave birth to twins in 2011, she named them with wildly varying rationality. One child was named Monroe, after Marilyn Monroe, and whilst it's unusual, it still sounds like a totally sane and not entirely fictional effort. However, the second child was named Moroccan Scott. The "Scott" comes from the maiden name of her husband's grandmother, which is more than fair enough, but it is the "Moroccan" which is troubling here. The world could quite easily allow "Morocco" to stand, but it's the fact that it's the nationality and not the country which the child has been named after which just makes this one a ridiculous state of affairs. What makes it worse is that the child was named after where Carey's husband proposed, and no, it wasn't in Morocco, but in a Moroccan-themed hotel room. Sometimes words simply fail to do justice to celebrity insanity.
