Looks like Golomb's sequence A001462:

ID Number: A001462 (Formerly M0257 and N0091)
URL:       http://www.research.att.com/projects/OEIS?Anum=A001462
Sequence:  1,2,2,3,3,4,4,4,5,5,5,6,6,6,6,7,7,7,7,8,8,8,8,9,9,9,9,9,10,
           10,10,10,10,11,11,11,11,11,12,12,12,12,12,12,13,13,13,13,13,
           13,14,14,14,14,14,14,15,15,15,15,15,15,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,
           17,17,17,17,17,17,17,18,18,18,18,18,18,18,19
Name:      Golomb's sequence: a(n) is the number of times n occurs, starting
with a(1) = 1.
Comments:  It is understood that a(n) is taken to be the smallest number >=
              a(n-1) which is compatible with the description.
           Also called Silverman's sequence.
           Vardi gives several identities satisfied by A001463 and this
              sequence.

May be your Comment should be added to Golombs.
