A buddy of mine just emailed me the results of a google search he did. The sixth link down takes you the crosspost I did to another message board o my Pit rant about my supervisor “Pete Puma.” I’m shocked to find that it would be so high on Google. Dang, now the whole world is gonna know that he’s a :wally
I just checked. You’re number five on my list. Moving up in the world now. 
But I’ve got to go now so I’ll have to read your story later. 
HAH.
I google my name periodically cause I’m that shallow to discover that I am a semi-famous lesbian sci-fi writer. Who Knew!
I just might put that on my resume.
I’m the only Myfirstname+Mylastname that Google spits out. They’re both sort of unusual, I guess.
I’m nonexistent on google, which I find funny since I work in a damn public environment 
Reading story now…
…I’m with the die maker. Any bodies need moving I’ll be glad to lend a hand. I mean his brain is already there. :wally
Apparently I have embarked on a reasonably successful gay porn career and not realised it yet. :eek:
I’m nonexistent on Google as well. There are dozens of pages with my name, but it belongs to other people - notably a religious speaker, who, incidentally, appeared at a church on the way to our house a couple of years ago. I took a photo of the name on the billboard.
This makes it easier for us to infiltrate, comrade. Shh!
I just clicked the link, and you’re at #4.
Which is completely reasonable, I think, given how great that story is.
I did a google search on my name a while back and found out there’s a multi-millionaire venture capitalist with the same first and last name as me (and I have a very unusual name).
A friend of mine (with an equally unusual name) did the same thing and found out there’s a convicted murderer in prison with his name.
I’m not sure which of us should be more worried.
I apparently have one of the most common name combinations. Googling it results in over 20,000 hits, including many athletes and the producer of a popular TV drama.
Not only am I number 1, I’m also bolded. Bow down before me, mortals. It’s a Rotten Tomatoes entry for me, though there’s no information in it, and I’m too lazy to contact them about updating it. There are 1,890 entries with my name, and I think I’m 95% of them. I’m sure most of those actually duplicate information, however, because I certainly haven’t written anywhere near 2000 articles.
Firstname + Middleinitial + Lastname= 1 hit
Firstname + Lastname= 18 hits
Shortformoffirstname+ Lastname= 69 hits
Of these, only a couple relate to me.
Wow. I’m a professor at the University of Ulster and I never knew it!
My first umpteen billion Google results are some anchorman in Australia who’s apparently considered “the man” by the government and corporations. The rest are for the head of the Computer Science department at a California school. None of 'em are me. Used to be that there was one, from when I starred in a play a few years back, but that disappeared a few months ago. Oh well…back to anonymity.
(And yes, I do realize that I just essentially told any Doper with any initiative my real name, but I figure that if anybody here really wanted to find me, the information I’ve provided in previous posts would be more than enough to do so.)
I like Governor Quinn’s format, so I’m gonna borrow it:
[ul]
[li]First Name + Middle Name + Last Name = 0 hits[/li][li]First Name + Last Name= 5 hits; 2 of which are me[/li][li]Nickname + Last Name= 33 hits; most are me (including one link to something I wrote in French! cool!), several are a UK footballer who shares my name[/li][/ul]
I mostly go by Nickname + Last Name, and it had been a while since I Googled myself…there are some links that I didn’t know about! :eek: 
Woot! I’m number 3 on Google. I’m also all over a bunch of Gun Safety sites.
I share a first name with a very popular porn star. Needless to say I don’t do vanity searches on my real name at work.
This also caught Mom. I only have my first name on my email app, so that’s all that my email-ees see when I send one. Mom has gotten used to just junking the spam, but when she saw one with my name on it, she opened it. :eek:
First name+last name - 154 hits.
Most are me, because I seem to be the only bearer of my full name worldwide, but I was quoted by name by AP several months ago and dozens of online news reports ran the story, so there is some duplication in a whole range of languages.
My real name, I’m all 6 of 6 in Google, which is funny because I swear there are other people out there with my real name.
This name, however, links you to: Children are invited to play games on the theme of weather, time and the seasons in the company of Ludovic the teddy bear…maybe a name change is in order…welcome Ludovic the Teddy Bear!
