There`s a film currently out that has my son`s name as the lead charactor. It`s apparently based on fact
So I thought I`d google the name and find out more about the name.
From there I googled my daughter`s names. Both names exist.
I know that a few years ago there was a british swimmer who had the sam ename as me, so I expected to find her details when I googled the name. But shock upon shocks, when google opened up, the top TWO entries were ME, personally. Not just someone with my name, but me, myself and I.
Talk about a drop dead moment.!!
Any one else ever tried googling their own names?

Kind of scary, isn't it, when you Google your name and find that you're there! I was staggered the first time I tried it - I think I must be very famous, cos I get about 3 pages!! They're not all me - despite having a name like Callie which is quite unusual, there are several other people with the same first name and surname, although most of them are very dead and the links lead to their obituaries! I must have an old-fashioned name!
I`ve just done my whole family, and they`re all there!!
Just my younger sister and I are there as ourselves.
My other half and youngest daughter have web sites named after them!
I also googled my maiden name and was horrified to find that *I* am porn star - still active by the look of things!! A quick look in the mirror prooved it was definatly NOT me!!

A few months ago an old friend of mine tracked me down using google, she found me on our company website. I think mine was the second result on google.
And years ago I tracked down an old friend the same way.
I can Google myself, but not by my real name. There are others out there who are afflicted with the same ghastly name as myself, though, the poor sods. I find them when I Google my real name, and ponder getting in touch to commiserate.
But seriously it's your name, if you dislike it that much then you have the right to change it. Ok your family may not like it, but you have to make your own choices.
If I was gonna marry someone and their surname was stupid Id keep my own. I really should find out the surname of the guy Im planning to marry, he is unaware at the moment.
I don't intend to take my husband's last name in any official way at all. But... I'm sort of a feminist so don't take any notice of me.
If you google my name you get me (a thing on BBC Holiday and ABC tales) and some other people... there's loads of Rebecca Dowlings, fairly common Irish name... including Captain Rebecca Dowling of the Irish handball team! That just sounds cool. And another feminist Rebecca Dowling who's probably a proper one, not all talk like me.
BUT if you google my brother's name (Justin Bradshaw) you get boring people and a lot of hype about him and his new exhibition, Petrology, which is bloody marvellous and I advise you all to go and google it immediately because my brother is a fantastic painter (not that I'm biased). GO! GO NOW! GO TO GOOGLE! GO NOW!

Have you seen him yet?
Or is he your ideal dream figure?

I googled my name a long time ago, with my full name I'll find myself obviously (my names west African so its more unique than an English name on the web), with my first name however I find lots of Japanese sites and lots of manga interestingly (more so if I put it in the Japanese Google) and also NBA basketball players and Olympic athletes.

Nat Marsters could work quite well. I don't think you need worry, Nat.
