Maple is a nature name that has an old-fashioned “grandma name” feel, but it also sounds fresh and current at the same time. While it saw a bit of popularity at the start of the 20th century, it hasn't been a top name for girls in the United States since 1902. However, over the last decade or two, a few celebrities have chosen the name for their daughters. Combine that with an increasing interest in nature names, and Maple is a monkiker that we may see much more of in the future.
