    I just did a search of my name in google ... purely out of boredom, turned up some interesting stuff.

    It seems ppl with my name are either in health care, I.T. or multimedia; which i found strange cause those would be the main area's of interest to me, from a carrier point of view. When i was a kid i always wanted to be a doctor, then i got into computers n am currently studying I.T., and am considering a diploma in multimedia after this.

    So have a look yourself n see if there's any potential double of you out there!

    All the results are me, which isn't surprising since my name is so unusual.

    One is my mother, something about an amateur tennis tournament.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,379 ✭✭✭Mills


    There are loads of people on google with my name, among the first few are an Australian Folk performer, a professor of art, and a United states district court judge.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,333 ✭✭✭Celt


    mmhmm all my people are physics professors at big american universities :/

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,811 ✭✭✭✭billy the squid


    just googled meself

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,309 ✭✭✭✭Bard


    First few Google hits for my name ... are me. No major shock there.

    But apparently there are those who share my name who...

    I'm shocked.

    --

    Oh-.... the real me is the one who is #1 as far as Google is concerned :D, did all these sites (and more), got a free umbrella for saying this (although I now kinda regret those words), almost married, almost became a dad, almost died on a couple of occasions, ... but still can admit to aspiring to many of the things that a few of my namesakes above have done. Fair play to them... and what an eye opener!

    the first set of sites are Welsh, then one of my alter egos reviewed some String Quartet for some website. then my name turns up at 'Penpals@Jessica's Sanctuary's Dreambook' :rolleyes:.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,576 ✭✭✭Kairo


    Strangely enough, my full name seems to be everyone elses middle name.

    AB Little
    AB Callicut
    AB Miller

    :confused:

    The only other thing I found was some lunix members list that I don't even remember signing on for.

    Guess I'm one of those unique types.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,972 ✭✭✭SheroN


    Turns out I was the first victim of a Pedophile Priest back in 1935 over in boston, he coaxed me into his quarters with cake and soda, and then demanded I give him a massage coz he was "stiff from moving furniture"...

    First page of results were normal enough anyway. My name is too common. A few professors in some universities, a furniture salesman, an author, some musicians...then on the second page, this:

    "one of New York's most influential transvestite, drag, and transgendered performers"

    :eek: :eek: :D :eek: :eek:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,634 ✭✭✭Kolodny

    I am pretty fúckin freaked here. My name is very Irish, so I only yielded 2 results. One was the homepage(that actually didn't exist) of a guy in UCD (I'm in UCD too), and the other was reams and reams of info, mailing list replies, and bbs posts on a linux guru/researcher in UL. OH cruel fate!!!! I'm destined to be a nerd forever :(


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,651 ✭✭✭Enygma


    Mines freaky, I've done it before and every time I do it the first result is a site with a picture of the a grave with my name on it :)
    It's supposed to be a site of famous gravestones. www.findagrave.com

    Oh, and I once gave a talk in a German university on Thiols in pathogenic microorganisms. Which is nice.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 616 ✭✭✭C B


    Most of the first page is me (including some mentions I was unaware of).

    And after that just a bunch of links to various college societies who have a committee member with the same name as me.

    Yipee! It appears all those who share my name are a much of Luddites. I'm begining to agree with them too. The results told me way too much about myself than I want anyone to know.
