Aaron and Tylercompared on official birth-registration statistics and Namewise's recorded data. This page states what each name's record shows — it never picks a winner or scores one name against the other.

Aaron and Tyler over time
Aaron and Tyler appear together in 5 published lists, across 140 years of shared records. Tyler held the stronger position in more years in 3 of them, Aaron in 2.
The order between them changed and held in one of those lists — a change in that published list, never a claim that one name displaced the other.
Aaron reached its own highest recorded position earlier in 5 of those lists, and Tyler in none. Each position is a place inside its own list, so this compares when they peaked and never how high.
Counted list by list. Two names in the same published list are measured on the same scale in the same year, so those comparisons are real — but positions from different lists are not, so nothing here is combined into an overall standing.
