    your name makes me think of Sleeping Beauty

    because her pseudonym in the Disney movie was Briar Rose

    I'm pretty sure that was her name in the original folk tale

    Disney called her Aurora

    Yes and I think that Disney didn't think Briar Rose was a princess-y name, so they changed it to Aurora as her "real" name and Briar Rose got demoted to her fake-pretend name

    The princess's name has been unstable. In Sun, Moon, and Talia, she is named Talia ("Sun" and "Moon" being her twin children). Perrault removed this, leaving her anonymous, although naming her daughter "L'Aurore". The Brothers Grimm named her "Briar Rose" in their 1812 collection.[6] This transfer was taken up by Disney in the film, which also called her Aurora.[7] John Stejean named her "Rosebud" in TeleStory Presents.

    Not in the northwest Ohio apparently.

    But yeah the one was Pakistani.

    The kid I don't remember.

    EDIT: My Uncle suggested back before he was born my brother should have been Horatio Gomez, which might have been neat.

    I was almost Mathew, which would have been cool too.

    Looking a little closer, and I notice for some names the figures suddenly fall off at certain years that suspiciously look like census years.

    So I'm not sure how complete their data is for every name.

    I was born on during a waxing crescent moon. Which means absolutely nothing.

    Star Trek premiered on my day of birth.

    A bunch of Scottish and English dudes share my my first and middle name combined with my surname.

    They too must die. All the trips to the poles and anesthesia in the world can't save them now that I know of them.

    Although I believe they are already dead. I must then take this fight into the hells below and heavens above.

    You should capitalize the other D instead. That'd set you apart.

    They probably do depend on the census a lot. I expect they are just applying a decay function in intermediate years as they would expect a certain % of existing people named that to die and a certain number to be born, the next census is used to correct the estimates

    Yeah, probably.

    It looks weird though. Some names have values filled in all the way. And then some names just stop suddenly.
