Derek Zoolander said it best when he said moisture is the essence of wetness, and wetness is the essence of beauty.

A feminine Hebrew name, Mayim gained traction due to actress Mayim Bialik and her appearances in sitcoms Blossom and The Big Bang Theory. Baby might also love the idea of the "Mayim Mayim," an Israeli folk dance performed to a song of the same name.
