Googling my name mostly turns up me, but you will also get a former VP at Chevron, a fighter pilot and a prisoner at the infamous Civil War prisoner-of-war camp Andersonville (a book I had to read in High School).

I have an unusual maiden and an extremely rare married names, and my family is concerned we not be easily id'd or located on the netz, so I've tried to be circumspect. I'm findable by my lj name, which I use more places than LJ, but not easily by my actual last name.

I remember when I was running deathmatches during my lunch hour and we'd all get into a fever waiting for somebody to get back from lunch to cast a deciding vote.

I was just reading up on all that in order to remind myself how to run the SPN deathmatches. Man, those were times...and I'm surprised there isn't more automated tournament bracket software out there. Or maybe it's just that there's nothing for Macs and that's only where I've been looking.

There are a surprising number of people with my name, considering. Most notably, to me, an Irish artist and a South American socialite. But most of the googles of it are me now, because my job search resulted in the posting of a lot of resumes.

You mostly get me, but I seem to have a distant cousin with the same name who is an atheist.

I used to be the only living person with my name, but now there's a middle-schooler in Australia. (There's nothing too personal with my name out there - just standard CV stuff, and Facebook, which I treat as wide open even though I lock it down.)

I did receive, in the mail at my house on Tuesday, a postcard addressed to my aunt from her high school alumni association. It was addressed to her married name, but we shared a maiden name. Unfortunately for her high school classmates, she died in 2004. But I was like, wow, they were drawing a bow at a venture there.

I've started seeing photos of my 20th high school reunion, which I missed last weekend in favor of California. Boy a lot of people are looking old. (-hides mirror-).

Firstname Lastname is just me. Googling me finds everyone else in my family, too, because there aren't enough links to just me, I guess.

I am easily found since I seem to be the only me. Some Facebook pages that I "liked" are now popping up in Google, which gives me the grrrrrs. Most things are library school projects. I've never used my last name on the B.org, so that doesn't get any hits.

Without quotation marks, the search returns are less clear, thanks to having a first name that is also a verb, and a fairly well-known French director with the same last name.

There are quite a few people with my name.

Boss is driving me crazy because he doesn't understand how something works, and he keeps mistaking one thing for another. All. Day. Long.

Flea, you say that, and I realize *I* was just looking at photos of your 20 year reunion. Er, except it was as photos of some other friends' 10 year reunion, who had taken a bunch of pictures of the parade. :) Three different friends, who I met all separately, were all there. I was like "OH! I bet you guys all know each other, huh..." (Edit: I think I know where you went to school, at least...:))

I've gone by my middle name since college. Middle name and last name are both exceedingly common. My first name + last name, though, it seems there's only one other woman in the US with that name. She's on Facebook. I feel well enough hidden.
