Mackie -
swimming against the tide

But something caused mothers and fathers in 1891 to choose the name more often than usual - only compared to the rest of the time, of course. You probably still won't find many children named Mackie because that was a veeeeery long time ago - unless, of course, you have some very creative parents in the neighborhood.

In years where the graph has no value, the name Mackie was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
