What Are You On Google?

[GFLPraxis]

I thought this might be a curious thread. I know not everyone will want to give out their name, so you don't have to; but use Google and search for your name (with or without "quotes"), and see what comes up. You can also search with different modifiers (say, a city) just for fun.

Now post here whether you can actually find yourself (you don't have to say your name), or if you keep finding other people with the same name; and if it's the latter, post what Google says you are!


In my case, Google say I am:

A senior Java programmer in Alabama.
An internet marketer in Georgia.
A math teacher with a PhD.


Ironically, I know Java programming, I do a level of internet marketing with my web site, and have a very strong math background (took Calculus at 15), but none of these are me. I am saddened that Google does not consider me worthy.


Anyone else have anything interesting?

According to the top hit I'm a lawyer apparently.

The 5th and 7th (or 5th and 8th without quotes) links are the real me.

A member of the Association of Cancer Physicians

 

[Jaffa Cake]

On Google... I'm me.

The search only comes back with two links, one of them my Facebook page. My surname isn't very common, so there's not much chance of a load of pages referencing lots of different people.

my last name is so obscure that i am just me...

And I am:
A famous actor,
A SQL developer - this one is me,
An Orthopedic surgeon.

I used to be a SQL developer and that puts me on page one of Google when searching for my name.

I believe this is called ego-surfing.

Cheers.

I don't even have to do the search to know that google would come up with me - I'm the only person with my name (uncommon surname). I've done it before and the top hits are always back to me.
