Mae-king a Comeback

Thanks to this obituary, I have "Mae" on the mind.

Source:  Social Security Administration's Popular Baby Names

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.
