Callie vs Mae
Callie and Maecompared on official birth-registration statistics and Namewise's recorded data. This page states what each name's record shows — it never picks a winner or scores one name against the other.
Head to head

Callie and Mae over time
Callie and Mae appear together in 3 published lists, across 57 years of shared records. Callie held the stronger position in more years in 2 of them, Mae in 1.
The order between them changed and held in 2 of those lists — a change in that published list, never a claim that one name displaced the other.
Mae reached its own highest recorded position earlier in 2 of those lists, Callie in 1. Each position is a place inside its own list, so this compares when they peaked and never how high.
Counted list by list. Two names in the same published list are measured on the same scale in the same year, so those comparisons are real — but positions from different lists are not, so nothing here is combined into an overall standing.
