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.
