Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon have revealed the names of their new twins.

Their baby son will be called Moroccan Scott Cannon - which will shortened to 'Roc'. Scott is Nick's grandmother's maiden name and his own middle name.

Mariah and Nick have chosen Monroe for their daughter in tribute to Marilyn Monroe, one of the diva's idols. Monroe won't have a middle name because her mum doesn't have one.

Mariah gave birth at 12.07pm on 30 April in Los Angeles - the couple's 3rd wedding anniversary.

'My wife just gave me the most incredible anniversary gift ever in life!' Nick Tweeted. 'I won't ever be able to top this!'

'I'm so excited to meet our babies and I'm looking forward to being a mother,' said Mariah, 41, before the birth.

'Nick will be a hands-on dad. He already reads stories to my tummy.'
