On April 10, two families in Alabama welcomed newborns at the same hospital with the names Johnny Cash and June Carter.

However, this unexpected coincidence happened entirely out of the blue. Mothers Sophie Clark and Nicole Davis told GoodMorning America that they were drawn together upon discovering the remarkable coincidence that their children bore the names of the deceased Grammy-winning country singer-songwriters. Johnny Cash and June Carter were married from 1968 until they died in 2003.

Clark stated that they became aware of the Davis family when her husband's uncle, who had been paying them a visit in the hospital, happened to run into and engage in a discussion with the father of baby Johnny in an elevator.
"So he called my husband right after that and told him, and I was like, 'We have to find this baby because that's too big of a coincidence,'" Clark recalled. According to Clark and Davis, the mothers expressed their want to maintain communication and meet again in the future, saying that the medical personnel assisted them in setting up a meeting with the babies in their bassinets.
