This market will resolve according to the male name ranked #1 in the U.S. Social Security Administration’s (SSA) official list of popular baby names for 2025, published on the SSA website: https://www.ssa.gov/oact/babynames/. The authoritative source is the SSA’s “Popular Names by Birth Year” tool. To view the relevant "Male name" list, set the Birth Year to 2025. This market may resolve as soon as the SSA releases its 2025 name data for the specified year. If none of the listed options is ranked #1 or if the SSA does not release the 2025 rankings by June 30, 2026, 11:59 PM ET, this market will resolve to “Other.”Trader consensus on Polymarket heavily favors Liam at an 86.7% implied probability as the most popular boy name for 2025 per SSA rankings, reflecting its unchallenged reign as the national #1 since 2017—now eight straight years after the May 2025 release of 2024 data confirmed its dominance over Noah. Noah holds a distant 11.2% on momentum from BabyCenter's November 2025 list crowning it #1 in real-time user trends, though traders remain skeptical given SSA's historical lag and birth certificate-based methodology. Lower-tier names like Theodore (0.6%) trail as perennial top-5 contenders without breakout signals. Recent state reports (e.g., Virginia's February 2026 data listing Liam #1) reinforce stability, but the SSA's expected May 2026 announcement looms as the key catalyst amid fluid cultural naming shifts.
