Indeed it is great, also one of my favorites.

I'm a Turkish restaurant, a Spanish footballer and a female Dance-pop singer-songwriter.

My real name is unusual so it brings myself on facebook, my deviantart account and some other pages I commented or subscribed.

Apparently I'm second in command of all forces in a race of alien giants called the Zentradi and I'm about 500,000 years old. How'd have thought that my name would be the same as this guy? :shock:

My Linked In profile comes up, then my wedding photos, then gibberish.

Then at the bottom I found out that Google lets you make a personal profile page...who knew!

Username pulls up me (twitter, BGG, misc gaming sites), an awesome bicyclist who uses the same username (some of his friends use to send me emails instead of him, he has the aol account I have all the rest), and surprisingly a few other gamers have started using the name. The guy with the youtube account is not me either which really pisses me off.

Real name pulls up a mention from my college days and some archeologist who is talking about money. And apparently someone with my same name in my same city that lives near my Church. Now thats scary.

If I type in JT I get a lot of stuff about Justin Timberlake. Years back, it used to be Johnathon Taylor Thomas that got all the hits.

If I type in Jungle Toad (what JT stands for), then you find a lot about a certain fishing lure called the Jungle Toad and you even find this delightful little level 1 World of Warcraft toad:

If you search my real name, you find me. There really are very few people with my full first and last name out there. This is why I don't use my real name when posting around on forums for fun. I realized long ago that everything my name is on comes up on google searches. A friend of mine borrowed my name once to ask a question about baseball and that still comes up in searches. You also see a lot of drum n bass production forum posts that show up before I realized how unique my full name is. Otherwise, you largely see my academic psychology papers that have been published.
