It's a little miracle written in the stars.

At 2:06 p.m. on Sunday, March 19, at a hospital in Bluffton, South Carolina, Morgan and Edwin Hernandez welcomed a baby boy into the world and named him Romeo. Unknown to them, though, just 18 hours and 8 minutes later, in that very same hospital, a couple named Christiana and Allan Shifflett welcomed their baby daughter into the world, and named her Juliet.

Both couples had chosen the names early on in their pregnancies and did not know each other. It's the sort of wild coincidence that you wouldn't believe if you saw it in a film, and yet here it is happening in real life. Photographer Cassie Clayshulte was working at the hospital that day and managed to capture the remarkable happenstance, and posted a few photos on her Facebook page along with a beautiful caption saying that the newborns have full heads of hair and would make an adorable couple.

Let's just hope that, if they do, they have a much sweeter ending that in Shakespeare's classic tale!
