Katy went into detail in her Instagram caption about the sweet way Marlo’s first name came to be — all thanks to his big brotherOliver Neil, who celebrated his sixth birthday just one day before Marlo’s birth.
Oliver insisted that he “made [the name] up” during their initial conversation in spring 2018 — and impressed his parents this past December when he remembered his suggestion, after theytold him he’d be a big brother again.
