Name in the News – Abigail Mae

For the second time in history, an American astronaut has welcomed a baby while in orbit. The wife of astronaut Randolph Bresnik gave birth to a baby girl named Abigail Mae last night.

The first NASA astronaut to welcome a child while in orbit was Mike Fincke. In June of 2004, his wife gave birth to baby girl Tarali Paulina, whose name is based on the Indian name Tara (meaning star). Tarali has an older brother named Chandra (moon) and a younger brother named Surya (sun).
