Thanks to this obituary, I have "Mae" on the mind.
Based on the number of Maes who achieved various degrees of popularity during Hollywood's silent and early sound eras-- Mae West, Mae Murray, Mae Marsh, Mae Busch -- I would have thought that Mae would have been a more popular baby name for girls in the 1920s, but by then she was already in decline.
Mae achieved her best years from 1887 to 1908, a run of 22 years in the top 60. Best years: 1892 and 1895, when it reached #52.
Mae bounced back into view in 2010.
The best of the best Mae.
