Not me. :D Googling my real name brings up no relevant results. I'm trying to keep it that way. :D

OTOH, I have been sort of pleased when The Google finds my RL name on teh intarwebz and it's not a reference to a rugby or soccer player.... (Yes, I'm trying to build brand awareness for my own name. Yes, there's something wrong with me.)

My name is too common to really search me out. Most results are about the footballer with the same name, haven't really found anything of me by name searching.

My name is not uncommon. A congressman and a Canadian provincial legislator are the top hits for my name. A search has to be more directed to find me and then the top hit is my passive twitter feed.
