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.
How about you?

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.

My maiden name pops up on the first page. My married name belongs to some S&M porn star. Therefore I use my maiden name.

Depends on which name I do. If I use my full hyphenated name, I'm probably the only one out there my unmarried name, I could go through pages upon pages & not find myself! But, using my unmarried name, this is the first page of images HAHAHA, I am def not one of these people!

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).

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.

With my married name I’m on the first page…my picture from Pinterest pops up actually. Interesting!

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 : )

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.
ETA: Ugh my whole life seems to come up on Google!!! Damn internet. My married name is clean though. Time to switch, I guess.

@mrs. bird: Uhhhh.... hmmmm... That's definitely something I wouldn't expect to find.
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.

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!

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.

@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.

My name is fairly unique, but there is a famous doctor/author with that name - so most searches come up with her.

I have a really common name so I don't think I've ever found a page that refers to me specifically!
cantaloupe / 6630 posts
First page, usually first line, but I'm a journalist so I get a load of my articles come up.

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!

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.

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.

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

A lot, a lot of the stuff on Facebook I comment on is up there.(bumGenius, southern Savers,etc.)

My first and last names are very, very common... I went through the first 10 pages and nothing.
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
blogger / wonderful cherry / 21616 posts
I pop up right away, I love following blogs so all of my comments on people's blogs come up lol
Also baby registry, wedding site, and other sites where I have accounts that use my last name (I have a super uncommon last name).
Facebook, Google+, pinterest,
But my maiden name, it's all people I don't know.

I have to go through 11 pages to find a hit that isn't me. But I'm an illustrator under my own name, so....I aim to have a decent web presence!
