[[ABSTRACT]]
The impact of names on the stock market has long been an unexplored area of research, and our study seeks to delve into this curious connection. By utilizing data from the US Social Security Administration and LSEG Analytics (Refinitiv), we set out to examine the correlation between the popularity of the first name Aubrey and Exxon Mobil's stock price (XOM) from 2002 to 2022. Our findings revealed a striking correlation coefficient of 0.8769160, with p < 0.01, indicating a strong and statistically significant relationship.
As we delved into the unexpected link between a name and a stock, we couldn't help but quip that people aren't just choosing Aubrey as a name, they're "fueling" the market's performance. Because, after all, when it comes to naming babies and predicting stock prices, we've hit the "crude" reality that there may be more to it than meets the eye.
So when future parents choose the name Aubrey, they might be inadvertently influencing the stock market. This quirky correlation leaves us pondering the question: is there truly power in a name, or is it simply a "petro-l" of chance?

As the saying goes, "What's in a name?" Well, we'd argue that there might be more in a name than we've ever imagined. The relationship between personal names and economic indicators is an area ripe for exploration, and we set out to dive into the intriguing world of nomenclature and stock prices.
Now, as we embark on this unusual journey exploring the impact of names on the stock market, we can't help but think, "If Exxon Mobil's stock price can be influenced by a name, then maybe there's an 'exx-on' information hidden within names as well!"
The name Aubrey has been historically used to convey strength and nobility, and in our study, it takes on a whole new dimension of significance. Aubrey, commonly associated with prosperity and good fortune, surprisingly emerges as a protagonist in the realm of stock market dynamics. We find this odd association both amusing and intriguing - a "crude" twist in the tale, if you will.
As we uncovered the remarkably strong correlation between the popularity of the name Aubrey and Exxon Mobil's stock price, it became evident that there's more to names than meets the eye. It's almost as if the market is saying, "You can 'bank' on Aubrey to make a difference."
So, let's saddle up and explore this captivating correlation. After all, when it comes to naming babies, predicting stock prices, and discovering unconventional connections, we must not forget the timeless wisdom of all dads out there – "You can lead a horse to water, but a pencil must be lead."

[[LITERATURE REVIEW]]
The connection between personal names and economic indicators has been an understudied and even overlooked aspect of research in both the fields of psychology and finance. Smith et al. (2010) delved into the psychology of names, and their impact on individuals' behavior and decision-making processes. Similarly, Doe and Jones (2015) examined the influence of personal names on societal perceptions and self-perception.
However, as we expand our scope to the financial realm, we find an intriguing gap in existing literature that fails to explore the potential influence of names on stock prices. This gap paves the way for our study to investigate the correlation between the popularity of the name Aubrey and Exxon Mobil's stock price (XOM).
Moving beyond the traditional confines of economics and psychology, our study intersects with the fields of linguistics and etymology, exploring the historical, cultural, and social connotations associated with the name Aubrey. In "The Power of Names" by Schwartz (2018), the author explores the significance of names in societal constructs and individual identity, providing valuable insights into the potential impact of names on economic phenomena.
Adding a whimsical touch to our review, let's not overlook the candid discussions of names and their implications in non-fiction classics such as "Freakonomics" by Levitt and Dubner (2005), which often delves into unorthodox and thought-provoking correlations. Additionally, "Blink" by Malcolm Gladwell (2005), offers a captivating exploration of snap judgments and decision-making, which subtly alludes to the potential influence of names on economic indicators.
On the fictional front, we find intriguing narratives that touch on the power of names, such as J.K. Rowling's "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone," where the protagonist's name carries an extraordinary significance that shapes his destiny. Similarly, in "The Name of the Wind" by Patrick Rothfuss, the protagonist's name becomes a pivotal element in his journey, subtly echoing the potential influence of names on fate – or in our case, stock prices.
Going a step further in our exploration, we also found insight in unexpected places – the backs of household items! They say that inspiration can strike anytime and anywhere, and perhaps it's no coincidence that our literature review took an unconventional turn as we pondered the implications of the ingredients list on shampoo bottles. After all, who's to say that the secret to understanding the dynamics of stock prices doesn't lie in decoding the cryptic language of hair care products?
In the quest to unravel the mysteries surrounding names and stock prices, our literature review took us on an unexpected and humorous journey, highlighting the delightful and unexpected ways in which research can intersect with everyday life – and yes, even with shampoo bottles.

[[METHODOLOGY]]
To uncover the mysterious link between the popularity of the name Aubrey and Exxon Mobil's stock price, we employed a combination of statistical and linguistic analyses, along with a sprinkle of whimsy and a dash of dad humor. The first step in our methodology involved collecting data on the popularity of the name Aubrey from the US Social Security Administration, because when it comes to tracking names, who better to turn to than the institution that's been "naming" all the Americans?
We then turned our attention to Exxon Mobil's stock price (XOM) and obtained historical stock data from LSEG Analytics (Refinitiv), because when it comes to delving into stock prices, why not seek data from a source that's "refined" for analysis?
We calculated the popularity of the name Aubrey by year, and calculated Exxon Mobil's stock price on a daily basis. This approach allowed us to capture the subtle nuances of both the name's popularity and the stock price fluctuations over the years, because when it comes to analyzing data, it's all about being "attentive" to the details.
Once we had a robust dataset at our fingertips, we put on our statistical hats and conducted a correlation analysis to measure the strength and direction of the relationship between the popularity of the name Aubrey and Exxon Mobil's stock price. Our analysis revealed a correlation coefficient of 0.8769160, with p < 0.01, indicating a strong and statistically significant relationship. This unexpected finding was both eyebrow-raising and Aubrey-inspiring!
However, statistical correlations can only take us so far. We delved even deeper by exploring the linguistic characteristics and historical connotations of the name Aubrey, seeking potential links to energy, prosperity, or financial success. This linguistic analysis, while unorthodox in the world of finance, took us on a lexical journey of discovery, unearthing hidden gems about the name Aubrey that "rocked" our understanding of its potential impact on stock prices.
Furthermore, we incorporated sentiment analysis of media coverage and public perceptions of both the name Aubrey and Exxon Mobil to assess any overlap in public sentiment and its possible impact on stock performance. This unconventional approach allowed us to dive into the "oily" undercurrents of public sentiment and its potential influence on stock prices.
Finally, we couldn't resist adding a touch of creativity to our methodology. In a lighthearted twist, we interspersed our data analysis with dad jokes related to both names and financial markets. After all, when it comes to academic research, a little humor can go a long way in keeping the readers engaged. Because when it comes to presenting serious research findings, we believe in balancing "serious" data with "punny" asides.
In summary, our methodology reflects a blend of traditional statistical analyses, linguistic exploration, sentiment analysis, and a sprinkle of humor, resulting in a unique and comprehensive approach to uncovering the surprising connection between the popularity of the name Aubrey and Exxon Mobil's stock price. Because, when it comes to understanding unconventional correlations, we're always ready to "fuel" our curiosity.

Adding a whimsical touch to our review, let's not overlook the candid discussions of names and their implications in non-fiction classics such as "Freakonomics" by Levitt and Dubner (2005), which often delves into unorthodox and thought-provoking correlations. Additionally, "Blink" by Malcolm Gladwell (2005), offers a captivating exploration of snap judgments and decision-making, which subtly alludes to the potential influence of names on economic indicators.
On the fictional front, we find intriguing narratives that touch on the power of names, such as J.K. Rowling's "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone," where the protagonist's name carries an extraordinary significance that shapes his destiny. Similarly, in "The Name of the Wind" by Patrick Rothfuss, the protagonist's name becomes a pivotal element in his journey, subtly echoing the potential influence of names on fate – or in our case, stock prices.
Going a step further in our exploration, we also found insight in unexpected places – the backs of household items! They say that inspiration can strike anytime and anywhere, and perhaps it's no coincidence that our literature review took an unconventional turn as we pondered the implications of the ingredients list on shampoo bottles. After all, who's to say that the secret to understanding the dynamics of stock prices doesn't lie in decoding the cryptic language of hair care products?
In the quest to unravel the mysteries surrounding names and stock prices, our literature review took us on an unexpected and humorous journey, highlighting the delightful and unexpected ways in which research can intersect with everyday life – and yes, even with shampoo bottles.
[[RESULTS]]
The analysis of the data from 2002 to 2022 revealed a strong positive correlation between the popularity of the first name Aubrey and Exxon Mobil's stock price (XOM). The correlation coefficient of 0.8769160 and an r-squared value of 0.7689817 provided compelling evidence of a robust and statistically significant relationship, much like how a dad joke always seems to find its audience.
The scatterplot (Fig. 1) clearly depicts the energizing effect of the name Aubrey on Exxon Mobil's stock price, with each data point showing the delightful dance of the two variables in synchrony. It's almost as if the stocks are exclaiming, "Aubrey, you sure do oil my portfolio!"
Our findings unequivocally indicate that the popularity of the name Aubrey indeed has a palpable impact on the performance of Exxon Mobil's stock. It's as if the name itself is imbued with an uncanny ability to "fuel" the market's success, much like a dad's legendary barbecue prowess.
The p-value of less than 0.01 further solidifies the validity of this surprising correlation, leaving us in awe of the unforeseen role names can play in shaping economic indicators. Indeed, this correlation is a genuine "oil"sanity in the world of data analysis, showcasing the potential influence of seemingly unrelated variables.

Aubrey's Energizing Effect: An Examination of the Relationship Between the Popularity of the Name Aubrey and Exxon Mobil's Stock Price
[[ABSTRACT]]
The impact of names on the stock market has long been an unexplored area of research, and our study seeks to delve into this curious connection. By utilizing data from the US Social Security Administration and LSEG Analytics (Refinitiv), we set out to examine the correlation between the popularity of the first name Aubrey and Exxon Mobil's stock price (XOM) from 2002 to 2022. Our findings revealed a striking correlation coefficient of 0.8769160, with p < 0.01, indicating a strong and statistically significant relationship.
As we delved into the unexpected link between a name and a stock, we couldn't help but quip that people aren't just choosing Aubrey as a name, they're "fueling" the market's performance. Because, after all, when it comes to naming babies and predicting stock prices, we've hit the "crude" reality that there may be more to it than meets the eye.
So when future parents choose the name Aubrey, they might be inadvertently influencing the stock market. This quirky correlation leaves us pondering the question: is there truly power in a name, or is it simply a "petro-l" of chance?
[[INTRDUCTION]]
As the saying goes, "What's in a name?" Well, we'd argue that there might be more in a name than we've ever imagined. The relationship between personal names and economic indicators is an area ripe for exploration, and we set out to dive into the intriguing world of nomenclature and stock prices.
Now, as we embark on this unusual journey exploring the impact of names on the stock market, we can't help but think, "If Exxon Mobil's stock price can be influenced by a name, then maybe there's an 'exx-on' information hidden within names as well!"
The name Aubrey has been historically used to convey strength and nobility, and in our study, it takes on a whole new dimension of significance. Aubrey, commonly associated with prosperity and good fortune, surprisingly emerges as a protagonist in the realm of stock market dynamics. We find this odd association both amusing and intriguing - a "crude" twist in the tale, if you will.
As we uncovered the remarkably strong correlation between the popularity of the name Aubrey and Exxon Mobil's stock price, it became evident that there's more to names than meets the eye. It's almost as if the market is saying, "You can 'bank' on Aubrey to make a difference."
So, let's saddle up and explore this captivating correlation. After all, when it comes to naming babies, predicting stock prices, and discovering unconventional connections, we must not forget the timeless wisdom of all dads out there – "You can lead a horse to water, but a pencil must be lead."

Correlation is a measure of how much the variables move together. If it is 0.99, when one goes up the other goes up. If it is 0.02, the connection is very weak or non-existent. If it is -0.99, then when one goes up the other goes down. If it is 1.00, you probably messed up your correlation function.
r2 = 0.7689817 (Coefficient of determination)
This means 76.9% of the change in the one variable (i.e., Exxon Mobil's stock price (XOM)) is predictable based on the change in the other (i.e., Popularity of the first name Aubrey) over the 21 years from 2002 through 2022.
p < 0.01, which is statistically significant(Null hypothesis significance test)
The p-value is 1.8E-7. 0.0000001830242306985765500000
The p-value is a measure of how probable it is that we would randomly find a result this extreme. More specifically the p-value is a measure of how probable it is that we would randomly find a result this extreme if we had only tested one pair of variables one time.
But I am a p-villain. I absolutely did not test only one pair of variables one time. I correlated hundreds of millions of pairs of variables. I threw boatloads of data into an industrial-sized blender to find this correlation.
Who is going to stop me? p-value reporting doesn't require me to report how many calculations I had to go through in order to find a low p-value!
On average, you will find a correaltion as strong as 0.88 in 1.8E-5% of random cases. Said differently, if you correlated 5,463,757 random variables You don't actually need 5 million variables to find a correlation like this one. I don't have that many variables in my database. You can also correlate variables that are not independent. I do this a lot.
p-value calculations are useful for understanding the probability of a result happening by chance. They are most useful when used to highlight the risk of a fluke outcome. For example, if you calculate a p-value of 0.30, the risk that the result is a fluke is high. It is good to know that! But there are lots of ways to get a p-value of less than 0.01, as evidenced by this project.
In this particular case, the values are so extreme as to be meaningless. That's why no one reports p-values with specificity after they drop below 0.01.
Just to be clear: I'm being completely transparent about the calculations. There is no math trickery. This is just how statistics shakes out when you calculate hundreds of millions of random correlations.
with the same 20 degrees of freedom, Degrees of freedom is a measure of how many free components we are testing. In this case it is 20 because we have two variables measured over a period of 21 years. It's just the number of years minus ( the number of variables minus one ), which in this case simplifies to the number of years minus one.
you would randomly expect to find a correlation as strong as this one.
[ 0.72, 0.95 ] 95% correlation confidence interval (using the Fisher z-transformation)
The confidence interval is an estimate the range of the value of the correlation coefficient, using the correlation itself as an input. The values are meant to be the low and high end of the correlation coefficient with 95% confidence.
This one is a bit more complciated than the other calculations, but I include it because many people have been pushing for confidence intervals instead of p-value calculations (for example: NEJM. However, if you are dredging data, you can reliably find yourself in the 5%. That's my goal!
All values for the years included above: If I were being very sneaky, I could trim years from the beginning or end of the datasets to increase the correlation on some pairs of variables. I don't do that because there are already plenty of correlations in my database without monkeying with the years.
Still, sometimes one of the variables has more years of data available than the other. This page only shows the overlapping years. To see all the years, click on "See what else correlates with..." link above.

Why this works
- Data dredging: I have 25,153 variables in my database. I compare all these variables against each other to find ones that randomly match up. That's 632,673,409 correlation calculations! This is called “data dredging.” Instead of starting with a hypothesis and testing it, I instead abused the data to see what correlations shake out. It’s a dangerous way to go about analysis, because any sufficiently large dataset will yield strong correlations completely at random.
- Lack of causal connection: There is probably
Because these pages are automatically generated, it's possible that the two variables you are viewing are in fact causually related. I take steps to prevent the obvious ones from showing on the site (I don't let data about the weather in one city correlate with the weather in a neighboring city, for example), but sometimes they still pop up. If they are related, cool! You found a loophole.
no direct connection between these variables, despite what the AI says above. This is exacerbated by the fact that I used "Years" as the base variable. Lots of things happen in a year that are not related to each other! Most studies would use something like "one person" in stead of "one year" to be the "thing" studied. - Observations not independent: For many variables, sequential years are not independent of each other. If a population of people is continuously doing something every day, there is no reason to think they would suddenly change how they are doing that thing on January 1. A simple
Personally I don't find any p-value calculation to be 'simple,' but you know what I mean.
p-value calculation does not take this into account, so mathematically it appears less probable than it really is.
