Have you ever 'googled' yourself?

Not me personally though there is a well known song about someone with the same name.
Clearly I am not a memorable person and have no achievements worth anyone making a note of.

I'm very common, now, apparently 😁

However, I was more unusual (refined?) before I married.

Going through life with very common first and last names means you always feel anonymous. If I heard or read my name anywhere I would ignore it as it could mean anyone.
John Smith used to be the most common British name but I’ve never met one. I’m going away to Google John Smith, I shan’t bother with myself.

My goodness me I’m famous in so many different categories and life skills, all of whom look younger and seem much better paid than me. None of whom is actually me.
I’m astonished about how much personal information, age, family, location, though not actual address.
I’m quite relieved to be anonymous.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I am so surprised. Just googled, and although I have a very unusual surname, there is another one of me out there! Interestingly it also shows a donation I made to a Justgiving fundraiser too.

Apparently I'm a Nigerian/American professional basketball player 😂. I was hopeless at netball in school so perhaps it's not me.

Why does it bother people if they have an online profile?

I have had one for years, all to do with my outside interests, although it is beginning to fade. it has never cause me any jarm, nor done me any good.

Nothing on me and I want it to stay that way!

I have just done it. Apparently I died in 2020.

I googled myself and there’s someone with the same name that’s committed benefit fraud amongst other things.

Found a linked in profile that I did not create, but is clearly about me. So thank you for this. Now I need to work out how to get rid

Yes I have, and yes I am, a few newspaper articles ( no not crimes 🤣) from work days and the charity work I did

All my DC can be found by googling though you need to know something about them first. Same with me. I have a Facebook page which is easy to find.

It's the way of the world I'm afraid.

No, but i have met someone who had googled me
Very disconcerting.

Just had a look. One mention for a directorship I no longer hold. All my working life professional directory entries have faded away now although I do still get emails from organisations assuming I’m still working.

Googling myself most of the results that come up are about a law professor in New York. Then there is a midwife in Maryland. The only one about the real me is my listing on Companies House from when I was a director of a company.

I can't be found on Google, I value my privacy so make sure the info isn't out there.

I googled me but no , I’m not there personally although about 15 ladies with my name …. I’m obviously safe from prying eyes!!😁

Nope. I am not interesting enough 🤣

I have found myself.
However, there is a much more successful person with exactly the same name. Given the field she works in, it is quite possible that anyone from my past who decides to Google me might well thing I have done far better than I really have.

Dd has a very unusual name. To my surprise when I googled it I found another with exactly the same spelling but in another country and another time. Makes you think.

Have just tried. I have an unique name. Things that used to be there have vanished. But there are more recent things. I think it is because so many organizations are now on line, newsletters, charities and so on. A1 is quite flattering. It makes me sound like a very active and achieving person. It is illusion. But at least it is not derogatory. I don't worry about it. I don't suppose it will make much difference in any practical way to my life. I doubt if many or any people Google me..

I run a small business, so am happy to be there, but another lady with the same name is an American author, so she turns up in the prime spot

Several people with my name but the only one that is me is on Companies House when I was a director.
