It takes to page 5 of the Google results before any of the pages are actually referring to me.
On the other hand, maybe I should just claim to be a race car driver, and then I’m on page 1!
No one has mentioned if they are googling using middle names or just first and last names to find themselves…
If I use my middle name or middle initial (in addition to my first and last names), I get no hits.
But using only my full first and last names gets over 60,000 hits… All because someone in hollywood decided to use it as the main charector in a major movie a couple of years ago.
If you know how to look, you can find some REALLY embarassing things I wrote and made back in High School. I wrote terrible fanfics based on various anime characters. If you google “fisheye shrine” you can see a shrine I made in angelfire to a transvestitic anime character. It is completely horrible and was done a long time ago.
The only stuff I found on Google with my name that pertains to me is listings in my university’s honor roll. Yes, I’m such a goody-goody that’s all anyone can find about me. 
Out of curiosity I googled my first and last names. The only things that came up were my birth records and some stories and poetry I wrote but they are supposed to be online. Fortunately nothing embarrassing showed up. Yet.
Damn! I just used a different search engine and found old movie reviews I’d written for the student newspaper.
Who knew these things would end up online? and why can’t I find things that I really want online?
If I google my real name, all the top hits are for a minor member of an old Rock and Roll band, and that’s likely to eclipse anything of mine on the net in general.
By far the most numerous hits for my name are for someone who is listed as an “Oregon State University Beef Cattle Specialist”. snerk
There are a couple of things on there that are actually about me, though: a couple of reviews of a theater project a friend of mine put together that was performed in my back yard, one discussing a project done by a lab that I no longer work at, and a couple where I’m discussing specific strategies for the Pokemon collectible card game. :o
Also, there are some for my dad the doctor, who has the same name as me, and a couple of other doctors who have the same name. My last name is unusual enough that probably everybody who has it is related to me in some way.
Nothing I’ve written is google-able, but there is a rather nice article about me from the local paper, and lots of other local stuff, man-on-the-street interviews and all that jazz.
Also, my one and only mention in Variety (and the New York Times - same article). I’m damned proud of those.
Oddly, my IMDB entry doesn’t show up.
I have an unusual name–in the past when I’ve googled my first and last names, you always got me as a point of contact for my agency. Today, though, I found someone else has my name! Even spelled the same. How exciting.
The first hit was me, the next hit was this other person with my name connected with the San Diego Workforce Partnership, then you get the Bjork song. There’s a database with my first name, some termites, some frogs, and apparently someone named her dog after me as well.
Man, do I feel special.
John, musician Willie Dixon used to this with his song lyrics, back in the day when blues musicians were routinely underpaid by cough some big record labels. He would send a copy of his lyrics to himself via registered mail, and keep the unopened copy as proof of authorship, just like Shirley says. Mr. Dixon was a sharp guy, as well as brilliant musician.
Sonuvagun! I found an old Web site of mine that I thought I’d shut down about five years ago! Heh - I see the hit counter is getting close to a million…
The first name I go by is fairly common, but I use the least common spelling, so when I Google my name, my personal Web site is the first item on the list. In fact, I have the first five items on the list. If I put quotes around my name, I get two pages of hits. Several hits are from Web sites I have run in the past, but I also found a review of a restaurant where I used to cook, a news article advertising a music fest I performed for a few years ago, archived posts on various mailing lists, and several other interesting things.
Fortunately, no hits turned up for any of my creative writing, but that’s because my writing is the kind you don’t sign your real name to
I share my last name with a famous plane. When I google my name (first and middle included), I get nothing but planes…planes planes planes.
