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

[TheLastOne36]

If i use my English name, 23,100, but if i use the polish version of my name, over 40,000.

None of them are me though... only a few to my father, a couple to this important corporal guy in the american army and 1 link to my great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-Grandfather who was like the Royal Guard of the king of the Poland or something in the 1100's.

 

[WICKLC1]

wow, 3,460,000.

I'm not joking, apparently I have the exact same name as some musician.

 

[Truronian]

3490

The first result that is me occurs on page 5.

Doesn't beat my 747,000,000 hits

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.

Yah, about 27 for me. All of them are me, as my name is unique (there's only about 100 people with my last name -- it derives from a geographic location in Norway, so while I may not be closely related to all of them they're all from that place; none of the others have the same first name as me).

Doesn't beat my 747,000,000 hits

Seriously?

I did a little experiment and that is more than 3x as many hits as the word "porn".

 

[Erik Mesoy]

Seriously?

I did a little experiment and that is more than 3x as many hits as the word "porn".

He might be named a common English word like "yes", which has 815M google hits.

 

[aronnax]

Seeing that my name also happens to be a district in Beijing...I dont know?
1 out of 450 000?

My last name is David

 

[holy king]

not very often. if i'd tell you my real name you'd know exactly who i am...

(using quotation marks it's 7 hits, all of whom being about me.)

 

[raketooy]

29 hits. My name is unique. Most of the hits are my email address and some are my floorball team statistics. One of the hits was some kind of a list where my first name and last name happened to be in order

 

[_random_]

I don't give out my real name, so probably none. If it's there though, I don't fell it necessary to sort through 46,400 results

 

[Masquerouge]

on a quote search, I get 677 hits, 14 are relevant, 12 are about me.

 

[Firestorm94]

15! but one of them was labeled Patrick Rolens' criminal record

 

[choxorn]

137,000. I don't think the majority of them refer to me. Or maybe even any of them.

 

[Mirc]

If I use my full name in quotes together with an OR and another set of quotes including my first & last name, I get around 4000, with a little trick I do to make it show all languages in the English search (which it doesn't always do). Without that, I get around 3800, and including common misspellings of my name I get 4200. I haven't yet seen one that's not about me. They might be though, because there is a very influential family with the same name as mine (though unrelated to mine), but AFAIK for now there's no person in that family with the same first name as me.

If I use just my first name I get 12,800,000, with the very first result being the philosopher and historian Mircea Eliade. That search even gets me a wiki link page with an explanation of the origin and examples of people with the name

My second first name (I don't really call it a middle name, since there is a hyphen between my "first name" and my "second first name" gets a beautiful 713,000,000 though, when searching for variants of it in other languages too! )

Thanks Phlegmak for searching for me and mentioning it in the OP!!

 

[BSmith1068]

I was betting on 0, but the result returned 2 links - both me. They were county marriage records...

 

[Kosez]

19 for me.

 

[Japanrocks12]

29, but a lot of them are facebooks

 

[Quintillus]

Any of my names by itself appears hundreds of millions of times. My first and last name without quotes, millions of times. With quotes, 300,000+. My full name with quotes - hundreds. None of which I suspect actually refer to me, though some of the 300,000 that are first and last name might. But I'm too lazy to search through them all.
