How the tiers work

Unique means rank 500 or lower in the SSA database. Your kid probably won't have a classmate with the same name. These aren't obscure — they're just not Emma or Liam.

Classic means top 200 with a stable or gradually declining trend. These names were popular decades ago and still hold. No spike, no crash. Just durability.

Rising means the SSA rank is climbing. Popularity_trend marked "rising" in our dataset. Get in before they peak.
