But, after challenging Twitter followers to guess, the super-diva has finally revealed what her newborn twins will be called - Monroe and Moroccan Scott.
We're guessing nobody got the correct answer!
Apparently, Mimi and hubby Nick Cannon decided on Monroe (after Marilyn) for their little girl, while the couple's son shares his name with a room in Carey's New York apartment, the "Moroccan Room".
Not the weirdest names in celebrity history (Frank Zappa pretty much cornered that particular market)... but odd enough to make them proper celebrity babies.
What do you think of Monroe and Moroccan Scott? Comments below please...

There's no telling whether the twins will follow their parents into showbiz. But take a look at how these celebrity offspring fared...
Celebrity Offspring
Football legend George Best was renowned for his boozing and womanising - but his son Calum has mainly concentrated on the womanising. He was however, caught in a tabloid sting taking cocaine with two prostitutes shortly after the break-up of his relationship with Lindsay Lohan.
Daisy Lowe may have avoided the pitfalls of substance abuse, but was dragged into a celebrity maelstrom at a young age when a paternity test revealed her father was actually Bush rocker Gavin Rossdale - who had had a one-night stand with her mother Pearl Lowe.
The daughter of Mick Jagger and Jerry Hall, Elizabeth Jagger surprised nobody when she became a model - but people were more shocked when she was reportedly caught on CCTV pleasuring Calum Best in a nightclub doorway!
Like father, like son: Jack Osbourne first got drunk on whisky at 13 and was drinking and smoking cannabis regularly by 14. Not long after that he was in rehab for Oxycontin addiction and is claimed to have taken a heroin, booze and prescription pills overdose before cleaning up his act.
And it's not just the boys in the family. Jack's sister Kelly Osbourne has also done a stint in rehab for an unspecified addiction - and has twice previously been treated for addiction to painkillers too.
Kimberly (daughter of Rod) Stewart is another fixture of the celeb party scene - dividing her time between London and LA. In 2006 her dad claimed she'd been treated for liver damage due to drinking.
If ever there was a chip off the old block it's Lily Allen, the (once) hard-drinking, hell-raising pop star daughter of hard-drinking, hell-raising comedian Keith Allen.
Perhaps the offspring of the biggest star of them all, Lisa Marie Presley was pampered as a child and had managed to get married four times by the age of 40. One of her ex-husbands was pop legend Michael Jackson.
Hannah Montana star Miley Cyrus has already eclipsed her dad Billy Ray's fame (and probably fortune) at the tender age of 16 - and has also managed to outstrip him in terms of controversy, courtesy of some risque photos and a racism row.
The adopted daughter of pop star Lionel Richie, Nicole Richie was spoilt during her parents' divorce and managed to become hooked on heroin by the age of 13. She has been in trouble for driving under the influence since - and was busted in possession of heroin in 2003.
