Nope, pretty sure he doesn't have a publicly listed phone number...</p> <p>And my mom has the same (married) name as a REALLY smutty 'romance' author. I uncovered that as a middle schooler who spent a ton of time at the library... haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-i-google-baby-names#post-1577094 Fri, 18 Apr 2014 09:47:11 +0000 Cole 1577094@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a fairly common last name so I definitely do this. It is crazy how many issues can come from it- if you Google me you get a woman who is from the same home town as me but has a very different background. My husband actually got lucky though and started getting recruited by a major company in his field because some other guy in the same field with much more experience was being courted by a head hunter and they called the wrong guy! He now is interviewing with the company because they were so impressed even though he technically wouldn't have had enough experience to apply for the position. So hey, I guess it works both ways! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-i-google-baby-names#post-1577083 Fri, 18 Apr 2014 09:42:48 +0000 artsyfartsy 1577083@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hahaha I took the allergy to clothes thing literally. I was like, "What, cotton? Polyester?"</p> <p>I get it now. Slow to the joke.

There is a "go go dancer" &amp; "model" by that name. She has an unfortunate allergy to clothes. :meh: </p> <p>(I'm not pregnant again! Just thinking ahead, haha.) </p>
