For the first 8 years of its existence Proof School’s most common name has been Joshua. However, I am a senior, so I’m going to be graduating (hopefully!), and thus will no longer be included in the totals.

Currently tallies of names with at least 2 people are:

  • Joshua (3, 1 of which is a senior, 1 of which is a teacher)

  • Aaron (3, 1 of which is a senior, one of which is a teacher)

  • Sofia (2)

  • Sophia (2)

  • Alex (2, 1 of which is a senior)

  • Thomas (2, 1 of which is a senior)

  • Isabella (2)

  • Zoe (2)

  • Zachary (2, 2 of which are teachers)

If there is a tie in frequency of names, then this market will resolve with equal percentage for all of the tied names. So, if it were to be resolved for this year, 50% would resolve for Joshua, 50% to Aaron.

There were four names not in the market when it closed, so the not in the market option resolved 4 times everything else. Nobody complained when I said I was gonna do this a while ago so I think this was fine.

I also hope I didn’t mess up??

Hmm, currently looking like we have 10 names each with 2 people who have them (assuming that there’s no math teacher shenanigans). 2 of them are not on the market. I think I’m gonna resolve 20% to @Conflux's answer and 10% to all other answers

@JoshuaB Whoops, looks like there's 11. Forgot about our Latin teacher!

For the record, this market is closed but not resolved so that people aren’t betting on “whether X, Y, or Z” person will go to Proof
