What do you get when you google your real name?

[strategery blunder]

I will not ask you to reveal your real name for obvious reasons, just search for it on Google (with quotes) and tell us what you get.

Apparently, among other things, I'm a philosophy professor at Nottingham University and a urologist in Pennsylvania. :evilgrin:

[ForrestGump]

1. A swollen head

I am everywhere. I am the Alpha and the Omega of Google.

[Deja Q]

39. Don't expect me to stroke it then...

I am the Timex of Google.

[fleabert]

2. I get an old picture of me!

I was part of a non-profit and my name and photo are part of the archives. first hit on google, btw. the others are my own birth and marriage registries. The rest are hits with my name broken up.

:-) I'm the only one on the net!

[sakabatou]

You've managed to outdo me.:evilfrown:

[sakabatou]

10. Yeah

That and I teach at Berkely....

[Wonk]

13. Hi Mike, or do you prefer Michael?

I won't post your last name, but you just shared enough there that anyone could find it quickly with google.

That's why I don't like threads that troll for personal info, even if it's indirectly such as this one is.

How old are you? Post a picture of yourself! What university did you graduate from? What was your mothers maiden name? Do you have good credit? What's your favorite bank? etc.

Put it together and what have you got? A recipe for identity theft.

[sakabatou]

14. It's Mike

and do you realize how many people there are w/ my last name? There's an entire 10 pages in the Israeli phonebook!

[strategery blunder]

16. Well, I would argue that Google itself is a recipe for ID theft then. nt

[SuffragetteSal]

4. someone who won a supreme court case

years ago regarding getting fired for being overheard critizing the company she worked for (while on her lunch break)...she won and got her job back.

Also, same name as a romantic novel writer. :)

My name is listed on a few press releases as a contact.

A boxing Ref who's in the hall of fame...

And then there's THIS guy:
(NOOOO relation, I SWEAR!)

[Jamastiene]

17. LOL

I can't help it. Part of me wants to find this guy sexy. It makes no sense. Maybe I need to go to bed.

[Richard Steele]

18. I think you do.

I think I need to go, just cuz I heard you say that!

(Seriously tho, the guy is some bodybuilding champ in an 'over-60' league...so I guess the ladies his age probably think he's quite the BoyToy!)

[AlienGirl]

11. I'm involved with some school board

I'm apparently also the wife of a Dirt Truck Racer, and am somehow involved in Drama! Who knew? :shrug:

I also get a couple of rat-related articles I wrote under my real name and a reply to an evite that I really wrote.

[SheWhoMustBeObeyed]

12. Damn!

I hadn't googled it in awhile, and there's my LTTE about the Kerry-Bush debates. Also an award I won a couple years ago.

I'm a film producer with my own company, and a professor of aeronautics. I'm also, apparently, Jewish.

[Jamastiene]

15. Apparently

I did a biology biodiversity project about nematoda and I am great at tennis and I won first place in a "German Day" college poetry contest. Also in 2000, I was in tenth grade and played vasity volleyball and get this I was 5'10" tall. I can't imagine getting to be that tall. I'd love it.

This is fun. I'm actually way more interesting and very athletic this way. I never knew it. <I say with my tongue firmly planted in my cheek cheek and grinning at the same time>

Subject: Your Raw Feed Special
I was so sad when you lost your Dennis Miller Live show. I always considered you "the thinking man's" comic. Then I watched your special and was blown away! Not in a good way either. I was so disappointed to learn that you turned into a boot licking, ass-kissing, Republican cheerleader......For shame Dennis! What happened the the brass balls you used to have? I hope this was just a temporary brain fade caused by insecurity.
XXXX XXXXXXXX

[Coyote_Bandit]

22. Wow! Interesting

I am a murdered mother of 5 on one coast. I was killed trying to defend a friend involved in a domestic dispute. Three of my children witnessed the killing.

On the other coast I had my drivers license briefly suspended due to a medical condition. I appealed when my insurance policy was cancelled.

Somewhere in between the two I testified in a trial where my brother was charged with and convicted of murder.

Several years ago I was a make-up artist in a movie.

I am a principal of a Catholic school.

I apparently like fish frys.

Most interesting is that the search pulls up the web page of my former employer though I am not named on the website. I was laid-off over two years ago. Guess the b*stards want any of my former clients that might be looking for me to find them instead.

Oh, yes, and there is another of me here in my own town. Something I already knew.

[SarahB]

23. A bunch of other people with my name.

that appears that I have done, ;), I also get a lot from a conservative British pundit. Hahahahahaha!

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

27. I get all my genealogical queries

on various genealogical boards.

[baldguy]

28. I won a radio contest about ten years ago.

They still have my name up on their website.

Then there's a guy with my name in Wisconsin who owns a plastics factory.

And the guy in Germany who's a doctor maybe. (I can't really tell. I don't know German.)

[WinterStorm]

29. Someone else's name

[El Fuego]

30. I get ME on my firm's web site with a picture.

Which is kind of scary because anyone can find me.

[imenja]

31. I get me

information related to my professional life. I also get the name of a musician, whom no one here would ever have heard of.

[Spacemom]

33. Wow. I'm much more exciting this way.

Apparently, I enjoy skydiving and I also run a business from my home.

I'm an attorney representing a minor seeking emmancipation from her parents.

I run marathons and teach high school physics.

I was also married many times back in the 1800's and gave birth to seemingly 100s of children. :D

[China_cat]

34. I get pages and pages

referring to the several sites I manage. My name is not common even in its country of origin.

[Spider Jerusalem]

35. A tremendous number of sites referring to a famous musician/composer.

That's pretty much all I see in the first 100 results.

[neebob]

36. A bunch of references to professional works

that make me sound much more accomplished and prolific than I really am.

[Freebird12004]

37. It seems as if I own a coffee shop in Costa Rica

and then I googled my birth name I found over 700 results BTW I'm guessing that none of them have anything to do with me.

[Bridget Burke]

38. Apparently I'm a film critic & computer journalist....

Also a recently-deceased community activist in Dublin.

And I'm kicking butt in several different sports. Track on this side of the water--camogie (hurling for women) in the Old Country.

[BlondieK143]

40. Oh. Gawd.

I've either done porn or I'm on the Dean's list. :crazy:

[Red State Rebel]

43. First two listings are about volunteer work I do/have done :)

One for the Missouri Botanical Gardens and the other for the local High School.

[TBreeze]

44. not much

It looks like I'm the title of some old jazz song, that's cool. And there are some discussion links of what I should wear to a tennis match. :shrug:

[nuxvomica]

45. Jazz singer, baseball player, composer, realter, wrestler

And that's just page one.

[kick-ass-bob]

a rotary club

[Midlodemocrat]

48. Apparently I am dead and have been for over 100 years.

[name not needed]

49. Some guy in California

and I think a minister of some sort. Nothing on me, though.

[alarimer]

50. I am a Republican

Apparently someone with my name is a bigwig in the Montana state Republican party. I saw a picture of her at the GOP convention. I immediately thought about changing my name.

I suspect that I am related to this person as our last name is not common and my grandfather was from Montana. So we are probably cousins or something.

[seventythree]

51. I used to get over a page on me

now I'm at about 3/4ths of a page -- I am definitely losing ground!
