The girls' given name is recent, and Macy, Macey, Maci and Maycie all appeared within a few years of one another.

- counting every spelling
The SSA counts spellings, not names. Maycie went to 42 girls in 2025, but Maisie, Maizie and Mayzie and the rest below are the same name said out loud. Together the 5 spellings went to 1,779, which makes it the 186th most-given girls’ name of the year — 3,391 places above the chart.
About 1 girl in 903 born in 2025 was given one of these spellings — against 1 in 38,268 for Maycie itself.
Spellings are grouped by a fixed rule that folds interchangeable English spellings of one sound (ck/k, ph/f, x/ks, a non-initial y for i) and keeps vowels apart, so Sean and Shawn stay separate names. It errs towards splitting: a family here is never larger than the truth. SSA national data, 2025. Method
