The Parents team highlights one of their favorite baby names this week, Maxine, highlighting the name given by astronaut Kellie Gerardi after her second child. Gerardi and her husband, Steven Baumruk, named their newborn daughter Maxine Quinn, or Maximal, a choice that carries a distinctly space-inspired meaning. The name was chosen after years of infertility and loss, and it aligns with the trend of using traditionally masculine names for girls. According to the Social Security Administration data, Maximal was the top 100 baby names between 1915 and 1930 and has since grown slowly, but is still not an overused name.
