The name of Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon’s child, Moroccan, is no secret to anyone, but many don’t know where the diva got her “inspiration”.
Naming your child(ren) is one of the most exciting moments in being a parent. The imagination overflows, and there is an endless list of choices: calendar, religion, childhood friend, famous singer or actor, parent, historical figure… Some parents, more “inspired”, choose to name their children after cities or countries.
