Census is pretty silly. I remember when I was about ten years old, my uncle Ricky found some trivia book someplace and was annoying everybody except me one evening by reading out loud random bits of it. One that stuck in my mind was the fact that in certain communities in the South Pacific, some people were giving their kids names like Cigarette and Carefree, as kind of a tribute to Western culture that was just starting to make inroads into their culture. Census puts me in mind of that.
PJ? Come on, how lazy is that? Reminds me of the book I read recently about Bonnie and Clyde; Clyde had a brother named L.C. It didn't stand for anything, just L.C. (He also had a sister named Artie.)
Rex? That's a dog's name, but nobody seems to be naming their dogs Rex anymore. They're naming them things like Tanner and Bailey.

If Census is a name, it would be from some Island nation as the parents appear to be Pacific Islander.
It doesn't look much like a Pacifica word to me (not that I know about them all but they're generally languages that must always have a vowel between consonants) so I was thinking of it as the word census. So, kinda odd.
