But I'm an illustrator under my own name, so....I aim to have a decent web presence! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-if-you-google-yourself#post-255685 Sat, 11 Aug 2012 12:23:24 +0000 Mrs. Pen 255685@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I pop up right away, I love following blogs so all of my comments on people's blogs come up lol</p> <p>Also baby registry, wedding site, and other sites where I have accounts that use my last name (I have a super uncommon last name).<br /> Facebook, Google+, pinterest, </p> <p>But my maiden name, it's all people I don't know. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-if-you-google-yourself#post-255626 Sat, 11 Aug 2012 11:04:29 +0000 stargal 255626@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>first result is me, i have a really uncommon last name. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-if-you-google-yourself#post-255565 Sat, 11 Aug 2012 09:15:37 +0000 loveisstrange 255565@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My first and last names are very, very common... I went through the first 10 pages and nothing.</p> <p>I did find out that there is a porn star, an olympic athlete, and a character from Dr. Who and one from Harry Potter who share my name. lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-if-you-google-yourself#post-255562 Sat, 11 Aug 2012 09:05:08 +0000 MsMamaBear 255562@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A lot, a lot of the stuff on Facebook I comment on is up there.(bumGenius, southern Savers,etc.) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-if-you-google-yourself#post-255541 Sat, 11 Aug 2012 08:32:28 +0000 Jumpingjacks 255541@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I gave up looking after 20 pages! My name is waaaaay too common. However, I'm in Canada and if I add Canada to the search I come up in 2 pages (work-related because I publish a lot for work). Regardless, it has made me consider changing my last name to DH's (I've kept my birth name so far). haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-if-you-google-yourself#post-255520 Sat, 11 Aug 2012 07:34:17 +0000 Mrs. Tricycle 255520@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I publish a lot of stuff professionally and my last name is unique, so I fill up at least the first five pages of Google (I got bored and stopped counting after that) - sometimes it makes me a little nervous that my web presence is soooo obvious, but it's all work related (minus a few etsy hearts), so I guess it's okay. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-if-you-google-yourself#post-255494 Sat, 11 Aug 2012 04:53:03 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 255494@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I fill up almost all first 3 pages. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-if-you-google-yourself#post-255470 Sat, 11 Aug 2012 02:23:34 +0000 Boogs 255470@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Google+ and mylife are at the top, but that's it. How do I get rid of myself from those?! Luckily I think there's nothing when I searched Google images. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-if-you-google-yourself#post-255137 Fri, 10 Aug 2012 17:37:26 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 255137@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If I do my maiden name, a lot pops up from high school and college. I googled my married name and only my baby registry came up! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-if-you-google-yourself#post-255119 Fri, 10 Aug 2012 17:09:17 +0000 travelgirl1 255119@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>First page, usually first line, but I'm a journalist so I get a load of my articles come up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-if-you-google-yourself#post-255095 Fri, 10 Aug 2012 16:39:56 +0000 SleepyMonkey 255095@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a really common name so I don't think I've ever found a page that refers to me specifically! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-if-you-google-yourself#post-255001 Fri, 10 Aug 2012 15:17:38 +0000 wheres_c 255001@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My name is fairly unique, but there is a famous doctor/author with that name - so most searches come up with her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-if-you-google-yourself#post-254990 Fri, 10 Aug 2012 15:10:44 +0000 JoJoGirl 254990@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Modern Daisy: You can have that removed...some post went viral on FB last year about getting off spokeo. If you poke around there should be some way to opt-out of public search. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-if-you-google-yourself#post-254989 Fri, 10 Aug 2012 15:10:16 +0000 Mrs. Cowgirl 254989@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i have the same name as an obscure comic book character, so that's the first thing that pops up and then pages and pages of not me! if i use my first maiden married name, my fb profile pops up first. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-if-you-google-yourself#post-254986 Fri, 10 Aug 2012 15:08:42 +0000 Modern Daisy 254986@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh this is scary, when I google my maiden name (no results for my married name) there is a website spokeo.com that shows my name, address, age, marital status, occupation, education, etc. Wow! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-if-you-google-yourself#post-254978 Fri, 10 Aug 2012 15:05:33 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 254978@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. bird: Uhhhh.... hmmmm... That's definitely something I wouldn't expect to find. </p> <p>I guess my maiden name and married name are pretty unique, so I find something on the first page. But apparently I share my married name w/ a singer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-if-you-google-yourself#post-254972 Fri, 10 Aug 2012 15:01:44 +0000 JoJoGirl 254972@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have an unusual name too so I'm always on the first page. However there's some basketball player with my name as his nickname so it's either me or him on Google images.</p> <p>ETA: Ugh my whole life seems to come up on Google!!! Damn internet. My married name is clean though. Time to switch, I guess. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-if-you-google-yourself#post-254971 Fri, 10 Aug 2012 15:01:15 +0000 MamaMoose 254971@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>There is no one in the united states with my maiden last name that isn't in my immediate family. So that's allllll me. With my married name my linked in profile is the first hit but there are lots of other hits that aren't me. My married name has no pictures of me if you do an image search. And surprisingly if you do an image search on my maiden name there are also no pics of me. Lots of pics of things a pinned... and wierdly, two pics of my mama : ) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-if-you-google-yourself#post-254967 Fri, 10 Aug 2012 14:57:57 +0000 Running Elley 254967@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With my married name I’m on the first page…my picture from Pinterest pops up actually. Interesting! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-if-you-google-yourself#post-254958 Fri, 10 Aug 2012 14:53:23 +0000 Minnie_Girl 254958@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With my maiden and married name, I'm the first hits on the first page. My married name actually comes up with more hits, interestingly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-if-you-google-yourself#post-254931 Fri, 10 Aug 2012 14:37:48 +0000 Mrsbells 254931@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With my maiden name, I'm on the first page. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-if-you-google-yourself#post-254925 Fri, 10 Aug 2012 14:34:28 +0000 littlebug 254925@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mostly what comes up under my name is my google+ profile (most of which isn't public), my picasa albums (most of which aren't public), and pinterest stuff. And a few random facebook comments that I've made on public pages (my facebook profile is not searchable). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-if-you-google-yourself#post-254914 Fri, 10 Aug 2012 14:26:32 +0000 mrs. bird 254914@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Depends on which name I do. If I use my full hyphenated name, I'm probably the only one out there :D my unmarried name, I could go through pages upon pages &amp; not find myself! But, using my unmarried name, this is the first page of images HAHAHA, I am def not one of these people! </p> [attach=2301/12/m8k0pf.600x399.image.png] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-if-you-google-yourself#post-254910 Fri, 10 Aug 2012 14:24:23 +0000 PastaAndPotato 254910@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>first page, first item is my linked in profile</p> <p>eta: actually the first page is all me, i wonder if my name is more unique than i thought it was </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-if-you-google-yourself#post-254907 Fri, 10 Aug 2012 14:23:54 +0000 oliviaoblivia 254907@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My maiden name pops up on the first page. My married name belongs to some S&amp;M porn star. Therefore I use my maiden name. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-if-you-google-yourself#post-254905 Fri, 10 Aug 2012 14:23:26 +0000 MrsTiz 254905@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ah that's creepy! A picture of me when I was like 13 came up from my Myspace, that isn't available to the public but my picture is the first one under images. My wedding registry is there, my Pinterest, my facebook, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-if-you-google-yourself#post-254893 Fri, 10 Aug 2012 14:18:59 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 254893@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm on the first page. My last name is really uncommon though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-if-you-google-yourself#post-254889 Fri, 10 Aug 2012 14:17:46 +0000 mrsjyw 254889@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>unique name, im on the first page: our wedding website, linkedin, social media, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-if-you-google-yourself#post-254886 Fri, 10 Aug 2012 14:15:36 +0000 Honeybee 254886@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How many pages do you have to go through before you find something that actually relates to you? I have a pretty unusual name, but I had to go through 6 pages of results before I found a hit that actually related to me. </p> <p>How about you? </p>
