Nick Cannon forgets one of his kids when tested to name all of them

Nick Cannon has got so many children that even he couldn't quite remember all of them when challenged to recite all of their names.

If you know anything about Nick Cannon it's probably that the guy has got quite a lot of kids by several different mothers, and if his recent comments are anything to go by, he doesn't plan on stopping just yet.

During a recent appearance on the The Howard Stern Show, he suggested that he might like to get together with the supposedly recently single Taylor Swift for baby number 13.

He's previously said that he wants more children and has regretted not having more with some of his exes so any announcement that Cannon junior number 13 is on the way shouldn't come as much of a surprise if and when it happens.

However, having had a dozen children over the course of his life, it can be a bit difficult to remember everyone and their names, as Cannon demonstrated when Howard Stern asked him to name all 12.

The radio show host said he was 'gonna test you' and away Cannon went rattling off name after name of his children, but he didn't quite get full marks for remembering everyone.

"Moroccan and Monroe, which we call Roc and Roe, Golden Powerful and then Zion, Zillion, Zen, And then from there, Legendary Love. Then there’s Rise..." He said, before Stern jumped in to tell him 'you missed'.

Cannon fired back that he wasn't done listing names yet and rounded out what he thought was the full list before being told 'you left out Onyx Ice Cole'.

How you'd forget someone with a name as rad as that is anyone's guess, but Cannon said that Stern 'threw me off' and that forgetting a name would 'create problems for me' later on.

He's had 12 children with six different women overall and among all of his kids nine of them have been born in the last three years.

In fairness to Cannon names can be a very difficult thing to remember and you sometimes need to come up with ways to remember it all.

Cannon has been criticised in the past for some of the more outlandish names he's given his children over the years.

Onyx Ice is a pretty distinctive name and joins siblings including Rise Messiah, Golden Sagon and Powerful Queen.
