Go to the Tour Egypt website and look in the ancient Egypt archives. You will also find some great info in B.B.C ancient Egypt website.
Good luck with the project.

You'll want to look at the five-fold titulary of the kings of Egypt. The use of all five names begins as early as the Old Kingdom (OK) but does not become a permanent practice until the Middle Kingdom (MK)
o Royal Titulary
• Mostly established by OK, some elements only become permanent in MK
1: Horus name – in a serekh (so one of earliest attested)
2: Nebty name – the two ladies – goddesses associated with U and L Egypt
• Nekhbet, the vulture of UE
• Wadjet, the cobra of LE
3: Golden Horus Name
4: Prenomen – follows the title nsw-bity “one who belongs to the sedge and the bee” –
• Sedge = plant associated with UE
• Bee = association with LE
• Enclosed in a cartouche from OK onward
5: Nomen – follows the epithet “son of Ra” from OK onward
• Also in a cartouche
• Also called the “birth name”
• The name used in most scholarship

Most of the Wikipedia articles on Egyptian kings present the full fivefold titulary (if it is known) in hieroglyphs, transliteration and translation. Try looking for Tutankhamun or Tutmose III. For the most part, these are accurate, though their might be some quibbles over precise translations.

I'm not sure what information you are looking for in regard to "birth" and "death" as these would be rather different for each Egyptian king.

You will have to go online for the details. Past kings or pharoahs were Horus, Anedjib, Semerkhet, Qa'a, Djer, and Aha to name a few but for details you will have to search.
