Name Search on Google

Hey, have you ever just run your own first and last name on a Google search to see what comes up? Well, for some random reason I did just that tonight. A lot of it was just randomness. But I did actually find myself (my true self ) a few times. But then I found my name randomly placed in some Harry Potter fan fiction page. That kind of ticked me off considering I don't really like Harry Potter (now please don't get off subject here trying to defend the guy, we can talk about that later). I wanted to PM the guy who wrote it and ask where the heck he stole my full name from, but in order to do that I would have had to join the site and I really didn't want to do that. So... Yeah, I'm done.

What kind of random stuff have you people found while searching your names?

*Todays random word of the day: "Random"*

Man I'm tired.

Re: Name Search on Google

Oh where to start? I suggest you look for yourself:

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=Brian+Turner

According to Google I am a famous chef, I am a musician, I am a author and a playwriter, etc...... It never ends.

Re: Name Search on Google

I think I'm too lazy to do that. Besides, I have the rarest first name, and basically the most common last name...

Re: Name Search on Google

I found a web comic artist-- http://www.mental-distortions.com/ would be his homepage.
There's also a MBA graduate that's critquing phones or something. And yeah. Skimming the rest, I think it's just listings of professional people. I did find a kid from Brazil with my name setting up his homepage-- I think it's gone now. Strange considering my last name's ethnic descent isn't remotely from there. But I guess America isn't the only mixing ...place(word fails at me). Meh.

Re: Name Search on Google

Well let's see...

I'm a Resources Technician, Secretary for Axworthy's Devon League, on the President's List (honor's list) for Campbell University, and an Academic Advisor for the University of Texas.

Wow! I thought I was just a working mom going to college.

Re: Name Search on Google

Someone sharing my given+surname combo happens to be Harvard's Nichols Family Director of Athletics. Kind of spiffy, I suppose.

As far as my username goes, it leads to Japanese companies and .hack fansites. But, mine is the first result showing up as a forum profile, somewhere in the 50's. Plus, searching for "Tsukasa forum" yields my profile here as the second result. Used to be the first, but some jerk took my place. =/

Been there, done that. Turned out I had won the bronze medal in a weight-lifting contest for men over the age of 60.

Re: Name Search on Google

I have a rather uncommon last name (Swinarton) so I got two things about my actual self in my area, but that's about it.

Re: Name Search on Google

Well, I put my scren name in Google. Didn't get many results worth mention.

But I will mention that my name is also the name of the ships in Star Fox used by Star Wolf. Here is a picture:

Re: Name Search on Google

Searching my first & last name tells me that someone with my very name is a webmaster at some site called Zelda Universe Network as the 1st result, the fact that I'm a summer camp counselor at Camp Sea Gull, and the colleges I was accepted to.

All of these things being true to me, of course. That's rare, I suppose.
