When I google my first and last name (in quotes) I get 0 results.

Nary a single one.

Googling my co-workers names I come up with as few as 11 for one guy to 944,000 for my boss.

More time wasting activity from Google.

Very few. But I'm not unique. :p

My actual name is common. But my shorthand name is rare.

37 sites but about 10 of those are actually ones with info about me

As a name in its natural tongue, quite rare. As a word my last name for google to search pulls up....

2,870,000,000.

Huh.

(Almost 3 billion...)

89,100.

I'm unique.
And my family name is equally unique to my family.

32,600,000 first name only

40 for my full name, and it's all me.

There are three of me.

There is me, the playwright/set crew worker who takes up most of the results.

Then there is me, the junior college baseball outfielder.

And the third, and I think favorite, me is the horseshoe champion/alien abductee. This guy I like.

32,600,000 first name only

40 for my full name, and it's all me.

I dare say there would be quite a few results for your name.

Mine's pretty common, I'd say.

94,000,000 results on google for my first name. Not surprising.

92 hits on Google.

Mainly for a woman who works for Coca Cola Austria and genealogy sites with a German immigrant who died in the US in the late 1800s.

Edit: Actually only 21 "real" hits, the other ones aren't displayed.

Everyone has everyone else's name :D

common as lead bullets

73,200

Interesting that the first link points to a band/person in Vegas (where I live)

And for the ironic giggles, my first name means Beloved by Jehovah (http://christiananswers.net/dictionary/jedidiah.html)

Can I get a witness?

"about 292,000" for my full name in qoutes.

And for the ironic giggles, my first name means Beloved by Jehovah (http://christiananswers.net/dictionary/jedidiah.html)


Mine means "Born of fire" :D

According to a recent study my name is one of the most common in my country (though I didn't need a study to figure this one out :p ). I get 421.000 results when I Google my first and last names between quotes

And for the ironic giggles, my first name means Beloved by Jehovah (http://christiananswers.net/dictionary/jedidiah.html)


I bet you love your parents for that name :D

Mine means "God is gracious"

Mine means twin. :(

Mine means "Born of fire" :D

Mine means "God is gracious"

129,000,000 for my first name, three for my full name in quotes.

Supposedly not very, but then my name is that of my great-great uncle, who was an education reformer in Victorian England, who created a whole load of fairly cheap schools for the middle class to be educated at, as well as doing a vast amount of Writing About Things.

Oh my full name in quotes has 5 responses, all mine :P

0 google results for my first name that aren't actually about me.

I know of one other person who has my first name. It's highly uncommon.

My last name is probably one of the more common (though not the most common) last names in Gujarat.

I bet you love your parents for that name :D

I am a great lover of sweet sweet irony.

about 885,000 for my name without quotes

165 with quotes

Mine means twin. :(

Thomas, eh?
Mine means "strong woman".

When I google my first and last name (in quotes) I get 0 results.

More time wasting activity from Google.

When I google my first and last name in " " I get 961,000 hits.

When i google them out of " " I get 30,700,000 hits.

For just my first name 455,000,000 oh yeah baby.

When I include my middle name with " " I get 1 hit, and it is an obituary...disturbing. My real full name will render you zero info about on any public site I have searched.

The zaba search of my full name gets this intial response
"Too many XXX XXX XXX listings found!

Narrow your search here: "

Narrowing the search by using my state of birth yields a singel hit connected to me...

hahahah I am invisible.

you have to be pretty vain (?) to search your own name on google...

-well my first name is Robbie so naturally I'm not going to go looking around
-my second name just brings up a crappy DJ and an Olympic athlete

22 results with my first and last name in quotes, and they are all about me except for one. That one that isn't about me is about someone with the same first name who works for a company that was founded by my great-grandfather and has my family's name but is no longer owned by the family.

Some of the hits that are actually about me are from like...Taiwan. Which is kind of scary.

there are 700 entries for my name, the second one is my bebo page, the first is someone elses bebo page.

First and last name combined, there's only me in the Anglophonic world. If you allow for the Germanization of my first name, then there's two people with my name.

Last name alone seems to be a little more common, with several firms in Germany, Austria and Switzerland coming up with it (Austria's Leading Importer of Horticultural Products!) a member of a socialist acting troupe in Argentina, and a Brazilian pet supplies company. As well as an isolated group of the descendants of a bunch of Swiss colonists living on an island off the coast of Brazil.

First name...well that's Andrew. There's loads of Andrews.

549 hits on my name (first and last, in quotes). Currently in the 131-140, finally found the real me for the first time. Have found a psychiatrist "me" (I'm going for psychotherapist), as well as a fantasy author "me" (which is a serious issue because I'm also going for famous sci-fi/fantasy author, so.......).

Oh dear. <-_->

Full name with or without quotes gets me zero hits. I have a rather unusual name, I guess.

With my middle name there are none. My first and last name in quotes brings up 76 results. Apparently I am mostly a FEMA photographer, but I also have some Pepsi-Cola director of marketing links, and the rest is about a pitcher and some clothing stores and other random things.

Full name (first middle last) in quotes gets me nothing.

Without quotes it gets me 'about 30' 2 of which are me, about 20ish are my grandmother, and the rest are crazy latvian sites. Edit: all the latvian sites seem to be using my last name as a noun. So if its just the two of us, its still pretty unique.

About half the female population of Finland has the same first name as me. And my grandmother has the same first and last name as me. Not terribly unique. However around here nobody has the same spelling as me. Which is nice.

I'm a town somewhere in the U.S. Aside from that, only dogs and a rare person have my name.

I got 533 results.

Heh. It's annoying when you can change the entire name by capitalizing one V.. And my last name is a popular first name among teh dark people.

One of the sites that came up for my full name was a list of quotes by an author... with the same name as me. :eek:

By the way... that author WAS NOT me. :eek:

Hmm. When I google, I get 44,600,000.

That's pretty awesome. I'm like an everyman.


*Checks out 'John Smith'*

232,000,000....

*Shakes Fist at John Smith's everywhere*

One day you'll get your comeuppance!

spooky, its weird when there's an accomplished not-you. i work at NASA now!

I get 3 results.

One from my school paper with a list of graduates, another from LinkedIn and one from APICS.

My name is pretty rare. My first name gets me only 274 hits.

I'm a town somewhere in the U.S. Aside from that, only dogs and a rare person have my name.

Doberman ? :p

Dead common. One of the singlemost common names in the land of my ancestors, though somewhat less common here in Canada.

*edit: Google sez: 8,490,000 results.

When I google my first and last name (in quotes) I get 0 results.

Nary a single one.

I came up with 1,160. However, once I legally change my name upon getting married, only 2 will match me. I gather it's because my maiden name is very common and my fiance's name isn't, since it was shorten when his family arrived on Ellis Island. ;)

Five hits, and four are me. ;)

289,000 and some are mine ;)

2 results, and they both led back to me.

Surprisingly, only 362 hits.

I used to have 8 of the top 10 too... but then a couple websites at my school got remodeled.

1,620,000

Wow.

I'm a Male Model, three actors, some idiot on Myspace, several people in the Movie business, from Sound Directors to Art Directors to Producers, and a guitarist.

I live a very busy life.

9. 4 are me, 5 are my great great great grandfather.

Two. Both of which have to do with me.

564 hits.

I didn't check them all (and previous egosearches have revealed that the only mentions of the real me were in news articles that preceded the Intarweb), but the front page turned up a prisoner due for release in 2018, and what appears to be a baseball player in a fantasy league that runs in the 1840s. I've never been all that good on first base, and he was born a little before me, so I'm pretty sure it's not me.

Only person in the world with my name.

Egosearching on the clock? Shame. Shame!

I get 8 pages of results, but most of the pages have sub-pages linked to them that are taking up space. My name isn't particularly common right now but it's common enough in other times and places, apparently.

common as lead bullets

Results 1 - 10 of about 181,000,000 so yes it's like what i said

One of the sites that came up for my full name was a list of quotes by an author... with the same name as me. :eek:

Clearly, you traveled back in time.

Mine means twin. :(

Could be worse. Mine means sonnet. As in the 14 lined poem. And I'm a guy. WTF were my parents thinking?

I actually own a book by an author with the same name as me. Got some puzzled looks from a few people, because they know I like to write.

Mind you, if I ever wrote a book called 'Sex in the Snow', there would probably be a lot more sex in it.

I am quite definitely unique. Past Google searches have revealed that there may be two other people in the world with my first name; there are certainly no others with my full name. There is, however, a nun in Chicago whose full name is the same as the most commonly used shortened form of my name.

Could be worse. Mine means sonnet. As in the 14 lined poem. And I'm a guy. WTF were my parents thinking?

Hey, what's un-manly about sonnets? Did Shakespeare, Petrarch, and Milton all become females while I wasn't looking?

The only other person I know with my name is a fictional character.

Lets see. We get four hits. me listed for production staff of MASH, me listed as an officer of a club (both from high school), my grandmas obit from 2000, and my facebook account.

my name also kinda sucks meaning wise...it is apearently a Celtic surname meaning "woods" or "thicket"

Better than mine.

Basically, "Big Hill" is the meaning of my last name... so my full name meaning would be:

"YAWHEH is Gracious Angel of God Big Hill"

...

Yeah, that just ROLLS off the tongue.

My first name yields 71,700,000 results.

My first and last name in quotes yields exactly three results. One is an article from my old college newspaper in which I was interviewed, one is a comment I made about eight years ago on some random website, and the last is a broken link.

I are invisible! :p

In quotes...13,000. I am both a well-respected writer/poet/journalist/liberal intellectual/historian with my own Wikipedia entry, which many of the results seem to be about in one way or the other, and an artist.

I got 3 hits, all of which are me. I tried some of the more Germanic spellings of my last name and got nothing.

Only 3,680 results. Surprising given how common-sounding both of my names are.

A lot of the hits are associated with an actor, and there's a few bloggers on there.

It also appears I'm not the only person on MySpace with my name.

Best yet:

It takes until page 6 of the hits to find something related to me. And it's a link that's beyond ancient.

You'd need to be a bit patient to track me down.

123 results... of which quite a few of them, apparently, are me. The first three results, for sure; most of the rest are about an athlete with the same name (a marathon biker).

I'm more important than a marathon biker who's won awards and stuff. :D

Edit: oh man! One of the results is an article in the college paper that I complete forgot I was in... entitled "Lasting lovers rely on talking". Complete with an awful picture of me and my boyfriend. And I mean really, really, desperately awful. I could have done without ever seeing it again. :p

i get 768 results when i do it for my full name.
most of them in welsh or about Wales...


when i use my short name (without middle name) its 89,000 results

First name: 591,000,000
Surname: 81,900,000
Middle name: 12,500,000
First name AND surname: 66,000,000
First name AND middle name AND lastname: 1,220,000

And i choose to believe every one of those hits are about me. :upyours:

I can say with pretty high certainty that I am the only person in the world with my name. My first name is pretty unusual as it is, and I believe there are only two people in the world with my last name (myself, my brother).

End communication.

My first name is hardly unusual, though I can't say it seems too common. My last name, however, is apparently very rare (and frequently misspelt).

My name got 8 results, all genealogical to my ancestry. (Family Name)

40.

Me, a swimmer (who lives near here apparently), and some woman who did the make-up for a film I've never heard of.

I've only once met someone outside of my family with my first name. However, googling this yields about 1.250.000 matches. This is prolably because it's also a surname and there are several Dutch TV personalities who have it. Googling my full name yields 16 unique results, which can be divided between matches for dead ancestors, matches for some vague relative who is appearantly an amateur sportsman, and the male protagonist of a series of romance novels.

63,000,000 results.

95 results, and the 2nd link actually is me!

I get sixteen, but every one is a reference to... me.
