2. Yes and I got zero hits!
Maybe because I asked google to remove all of my information, if any existed. ;)

3. Yes, and I can't. My name is a very common phrase in a scandinavian language.
It's sort of the equivalent to 'also'.

5. Common name.
But, being a college instructor, there are more than a few pages on the Internet about me. Some not so flattering (Hey, I can't give them all A's).

7. Yes. Very depressing
I have a somewhat common name and most of my namesakes are WAY more successful than I. :cry:

10. yes
I have a very uncommon name and I was really surprised that there was also another person that had the same name as me who's a photographer for a Detroit newspaper (or something like that I don't know).

However... I googled my aunt's name with her maiden name and not her married name and found my family tree complete with my great great grandfather (I was like.. what's my parents doing there?).

However, my cousin's son has the Internet knowledge and will change all the info on the website but I'm known as "daughter 2" on his website...! That would be hard to google ;-)

11. Yes, and my name isn't common in the US
but moreso in the UK. I don't think I've ever found anyone who matches my full name though, just first and last. I've got a welsh first name, english middle name and irish last name. (despite the fact that I don't know of any UK ancestry in my family. Long story.)

So all I need to do is marry a scottish feminist who will make me take her last name and hyphenate it with mine... then I'll have the whole UK represented. :)

14. Yes. There are 15 other women in America with my name.
One's a journalism professor in Louisiana, another is a motorcar racer in Riverside, CA. As it turns out, I'm the least interesting of them all. :blush:

15. Believe it or not...
Edited on Thu Oct-04-07 06:47 PM by nyhuskyfan
There's one other person in the USA (on Google anyway) with my name. He has a younger brother, who has the same name as my younger brother (there are four people on Google with my brother's name - he has a more common first name).

I have also masturbated, if that's what you meant.

17. Indeed. It turns out my doppelganger is a banker in Oklahoma
and a pillar in his Baptist church! Wonder what happens when he Googles himself? :rofl:

I have about five times as many hits as he does, anyway, so there! :P

22. Yup - and found at least four other people
with my exact name. One's a doctor in NH, another doctor in MD (and definitely 2 different people), a college professor, a professional musician and little ole me. We're a fascinating bunch! :)

23. Yes, someone with my name is involved in Republican party politics in Montana
She was a delegate at the 2004 convention. I think I need to change my name.

Worse, we are probably related, as our last name is uncommon (and my grandfather was from Montana).

25. Yes I have.
My real name is the only one like it out there from what I've scene. The alternate names I use on the Internets are more popular - both jtg33 and justintg are used by other people out there on the interwebs.
