Full name ( First Middle Last )
Nothing – not suprising, I seldom use my middle name and it’s really uncommon

“FirstName LastName”
Jeez, and I didn’t think my name was that common…go figure.

Nothing that was me until page 15 and that wasn’t what I expected, I was listed as a survivor in my sister’s obituary from 10 years ago.

Kept looking until page freakin’ 30 then gave up. Then just to prove I still existed I repeated the search with my profession added and …there I was, a whole page of me. Go figure.

I searched the first 15 pages using “Firstname Lastname” but didn’t find anything that was me.

I did find a namesake of mine, a tight end (American football position) who did a 45-day stretch in the slammer in '91 (cocaine possession), but Steve Spurrier would still let him play for the University of Florida if the school admitted him. Don’t know how that turned out.

And I found my exact namesake, including middle name, a 28-year old cable guy from Springfield, OH who was granted a marriage licence.

First page, first entry.

First Middle Last: 1st page 2nd entry, our family’s blog
First MI Last: Don’t show up in 8 entries (though there’s a real estate agent in Florida with my name)
First Last: 1st page 3rd entry, Facebook account
SDMB username: no chance in hell of finding it (stopped after 10 pages)

First and last name brings up my blog on the first page.

No results with my middle names included.

The first result under multimediac17 is my Twitter, then blog… actually all the results are about me.

My real name isn’t anywhere in cyber space…But my user name is #1 baby…:smiley:

For “first last” the first entry which is me comes up at page 3. Of the first 50 pages 19 of the hits are me. All of them job related mostly reports I have written and the like.

I used to be much higher ranked but I feel quite ok being a little less visible.

“First name, Middle initial, Last name” Seventh one down on the first page. This is how I most commonly refer to myself in public because there are a few of us with very similar names in my local area. The hit on page one, FWIW, is for one of my “Report From Potter’s Point” stories in teemings, published with both my Doper name and my real name.

Googling my full name get me first, second and third, But that is what I get for posting my genealogy online.

Googling my SD username is all me all the way down but the first SD hit isn’t until the fifth entry. I use the same name in lots of places.

First name Last name: five pages, all me - Facebook profile first of all, then Facebook page for the band I’m in, then various reviews for plays I’ve been in, links to the webpage for my theatre company, and some links to the my wedding photos on the website of the hotel I got married in.

SDMB username: 2 pages, all me, apart from one misspelling of “generosity” on a LOLcats page, all links to various posts here and on Nads.

Guess I’m pretty unique!

First middle last - 1 connection is me on a page for an online family tree
First and last - 6 out of 10
AmericanMaid - not me but fun links

Two of the front ten are me. All references to “stuthehistoryguy” are me, but only two of the front ten are from the Dope.

For me:

**“First Last” **- 1st entry and virtually all of the 2,510 subsequent entries are about me (my name seems to be unique among people publishing or published about on the web).

The only other Google hits for my “First Last” are one press report mentioning a German development agency official of that name - but that must be misspelled because if someone with my exact name empowered to sign agreements with foreign governments really existed there’d be much more press reports mentioning him.

"First middle last" - no Google hits at all. I have three first names but only use the first except for official records, none of which could legally be available on the web.

“First Last”: Entry #5: Link to the SPAM Haiku archive with one of my submissions. All other entries on the first page are the FaceBook page of someone who apparently shares my name.

Without my middle initial, page 5.

With my nickname (similar to “Tom” rather than “Thomas”), page 2.

Top of Page Two. A link to me at my business. More than five years out of date.

Full name, page 3.

Full doublequoted name: Doesn’t show up in 93,300 results

Full non-quoted name: I’m not checking about fifteen million results.

“Unintentionally Blank”? 4th of 2100 baby! My persona is the anthesis of my real life! :smiley:

First name, last name: The first entry about me is the ninth entry on page 1.

First name, last name, academic degree: 76 entries, all about me. (I’m a co-author on a bunch of journal articles.)

Googling First Middle Last in quotes … zero
First Last in quotes … I’m #5 (LinkedIn profile)
First Middle Maiden in quotes … zero

I do have a Facebook “name twin” but her maiden name is my married name. Most of the First Last results were of her!
