How many times does your real name show up in Google?

[Phlegmak]

If you type your real name in quotes, how many times does it show up, when it's actually referring to you? For example, I get 3800 hits for my name, but those are mostly for other people with the same name as me. Within the first 5 pages (50 hits) on Google, I am referred to 8 times. My wife, on the other hand, is referred to by nearly 100% of the hits that match her name, since she has an unusual name and her profession puts her name on many documents. She shows up in about 100 hits in Google using variants of her name.

The only forum users here that I know the real names of are Steph and Mirc. Mirc shows up a LOT but Steph's name is actually common, and I can't tell which hit refers to him or not.

Right now, 12.

Within the first five pages on Google for results for my real name, I appeared twice. Probably due to the author and football player who share my name.

 

[Onionsoilder]

With my full name(including middle) I showed up a grand total of... 0 times. I feel special. There were 106 results.

 

[Perfection]

42,200,000

 

[GoodGame]

If I pick the option where I don't omit similar topics, in about the 20s.

Interesting that some forum archives are bare to Google.

 

[Bill3000]

215 results. Half me (as I gave my real name there) and half some dude in north carolina.

 

[Verily]

There are 1,010,000 results for my name, in quotes. Needless to say, none of the first pages refer to me.

There's an anesthesiologist with my name. I'm pretty sure 95% of the results refer to her. 1% probably refers to the inmate with my name. 2% probably refers to the hotel. 3% probably refers to every other random person with my name except for me because I haven't done anything great or noteworthy because I'm just average.

 

[Taliesin]

70 000 odd. Five of them, that I know of, are about me.

 

[Death_Machine]

2, but since I have such an unusual last name that is not surprising. Both were published letters to the editor of the institutions to which I wrote.

 

[Evie]

39, all about me. Mostly places where I actually use my real name online.

 

[Infantry#14]

Sadly, none.

 

[ParadigmShifter]

8 times. They all refer to me, I have an unusual name, and my parents spelt it wrong anyway

Mainly me posting on Microsoft forums asking for help about MFC programming or else I am in the credits list for games I have worked on.

101%?!??!?!??!?!?!?!!?

 

[CaptainF]

135 hits on Google. Mostly from Swiss heritage sites, since my surname (and ethnic heritage) is Swiss.

There are a lot of people in Switzerland with my exact name (both first and last) apparently.

 

[Yoda Power]

8 hits. And they all refer to me somehow.

 

[Erik Mesoy]

800 for my common name, 2 for my full name (including middle name). Mostly me.

The only forum users here that I know the real names of are Steph and Mirc.

How about me?

 

[Grisu]

312 hits in total...about 1/3 - 1/2 of them talking about me

 

[Ecofarm]

Four of the first page, including the first two. Only 33 hits.
