After watching an episode of "Californication" I decided to see what happens when I google my first, last name and city of birth.

Mine is shocking:

Supposedly I was 23 when I was brutally dismembered alive sometime in february 2007 by four males.

Actually, when I google my name, the links are actually of me. my first name and last name is common, but i guess not too many asians have my first name.

My maiden name yields a long time soap actress ( have known this since i could watch tv)

My name now yields nothing but my contest wins :)

Have you ever googled yourself?

--------------------

If that question was asked 15 years ago, there would be a lot different type of answer...

My last name is an acrynym for a HUGE company so if I put that into the search engine i get 2,440,000 hits. If I put my name - first and last - with " ", I get 0 hits and asked if I want to remove the quotes.

I'm the only person in the world with my name...so it's just stuff about me, mostly from e-sports sites.

My mom does our family history and my last name is so rare, the chances of you being related to me if you have the same last name is very very very very high. I've never met someone with the name or knew someone with the name that wasn't related via a family tree, that was reasonable (as opposed to once upon a time 100's of years ago).
My first and last name together, makes the chances of someone with my name like a kazillion to one, but i guess it is possible, since I haven't met every single person on the planet.

Full name, I get 2 websites. First name I'm an Asian porn star or a British singer. I'm neither Asian nor a porn star, I'm also not a singer. Last name just nets a bunch of random stuff.

Me too in the Google world.

I used every search engine I could find using my full name and all hits in all search engines are me. :D

My name is very unpronounceable (to people who see it for the first time), unusual and unique. I'm special.:cheesygri Actually one good thing is that most people are on a first-name basis with me becaue calling me Mr. and my last name would result in seriously injuring themselves trying to pronounce the name.

That's why I try to keep as much personal info as possible about me off the net.
