Newborns labelled 'star crossed lovers' after their mums give them very special names

Cassie Clayshulte, official photographer at Coastal Carolina Hospital in South Carolina, had a pretty routine day until she came across two babies she has now labelled ‘star crossed lovers’.

That's because the youngsters, who were born eighteen hours apart at the same hospital, were beautifully named Romeo and Juliet.

And in a fantastic plot twist, both sets of parents had picked the names of their children before they were delivered – and had never met before.

Cassie was the first to notice the coincidence and has since taken the babies for a Shakespearian-style photoshoot.

Seriously, just look at these beautiful images.

Such a lovely story to tell the kids when they are older.
