The story
Macie is a spelling of Macy, an Anglo-Norman surname and place name worn as a girl's name, and the couple's arithmetic reads: Macy, the plainer spelling, about 33,300 in the data; Macie at about 23,500, nearly all girls. The record has a genuine old life, real double and triple digits from the 1890s through the 1930s, a mid-century rest, then the modern build: about 2,500 in the 1990s, 6,600 in the 2000s, cresting at 7,600 in the 2010s, with 3,700 so far this decade. The -ie ending is the certificate's oldest softener, the same friendly signature Rosie and Allie wear on this shelf of the ledger's nickname-graduates and near-graduates. An old surname, a soft ending, and a record with two lives a century apart.

Births registered in South Australia (not all of Australia) by first name and year of registration, 1944–2017, from the state’s Births, Deaths and Marriages registry, which publishes every name down to a single birth in capitals; a spelling its export repeats inside a year is counted once, and from 2018 only a top 100 is published, so the series ends at 2017.

Not on the record in Spain, Mexico City, Argentina, Puerto Rico and Poland: those registries withhold small counts, so rare uses may sit below their floors.
Not on the Chile record: nametree keeps spellings that reached 5 registrations in some year, so rarer uses are not shown. Not on the Montevideo record for 1940 to 2011: that registry withholds nothing, so this spelling was not given there in those years. Not on the France record: nametree keeps spellings that reached 20 births in some year, so rarer uses are not shown. Not on the Austria record for 1984 to 2025: Statistik Austria publishes every first name down to a single birth, so this name was not given there in those years (before 2010 the record covers babies with Austrian citizenship only). Not on Norway’s list: Statistics Norway lists only first names carried by 200 or more living people, so rarer names are not shown.
