Parents Choose “Theme” Names for Babies in 2023

John Osborne did not reference this list of top baby names of 2023 for his twins.

What's in a name? A lot, according to LiveScience:

John Osborne of Brothers Osborne (the bearded one) announced had to cancel their appearance at Nashville's "Love Rising" event - but for good reason. His wife Lucie Silvas was on the brink of delivering their twins. So while they missed out on a huge event they were looking forward to, they ended up experiencing a huge event they were looking forward to - as John's wife Lucie gave birth to two healthy babies yesterday!

John shared the happy news on social media, revealing that Arthur is the older of the two by one minute. At birth, he weighed 3 lb., 3 oz. and was 15 and 1/2 inches long. Maybelle weighed in at 5 lbs., 1 oz. and was 18 inches long. "Welcome to this crazy world, Arthur and Maybelle," Osborne writes on social media in his announcement post. "It's going to be a wild one."

And there was also a nod to Mom: "We did it y'all. @luciesilvas is a damn warrior princess." Congratulations to the Osbournes!
