    My real name gives "about 18,800 English pages" on Google and "about 65,400" on Yahoo. Some are me, but a lot more aren't.

    My nickname here, Paul_UK, gives "about 296 English pages" on Google and "about 3,210" on Yahoo. Again some are me and some aren't.

    I have Google set to only give English results which obviously means less results than if I let it do all languages.

    On these searches, put your name in quotes like this "firstname lastname" rather than just putting in the words. Then it searches for the exact phrase rather than pages that have the two words somewhere but not necessarily together.

    My name is very unusuall name so I didn't hit any page that has exactly same my first name and last name.
    It doesn't mean that I'm the only one who has my first name and last name combination but that's kinda cool:la:

    But at same time it's kinda sad that I might be the only one:rolleyes:

    I share the same name as a professional bass guitarist lol
    What's funnier with google and your own name is that you type in say, "Derek needs" (make sure its inside quotation marks) and you get funny results like:
    "DEREK NEEDS OUR MOJO. Please send all the positive energy possible to Derek from Skepticality … He had an aneurysm and is currently in a coma…"

    yeah, but say your name is Jim X, a lot of those results would be something like,
    "...a cover of Jim Morrison's hit "Hello, I Love You" ... The X Factor"
    or
    "Read Broken Parachutes by Jim Smith and Wesley X..."

    I once saw this report on A Current Affair where a reporter was investigating murders being plotted on the internet, and his evidence to prove that there were murderers lurking around on the net was that he searched the word "murder" into Google and it came up with a few million results. I personally don't think the number of results you get from any web based search counts towards anything.

    i dunno.. thats my two cents

    yeah make sure that when you put it in you type all in quotes "first last" so that it takes the whole thing as a search term and doesnt split it up. mine gave 46,500...i doubt the 78 million search results because even "john smith" gives only around 2 million

    I don't think that's sad. I think it would be cool to have a completely unique name!

    You're not pathetic, you probably just didn't know (or forgot) the quote trick with search engines. :wink:

    If you google my full name, it doesn't find any results. If you ignore my middle name, it displays seven results.

    Are those seven about you or someone else? Either way, that's pretty unique!

    No, about someone else. I rarely use my full name on the Internet. I just use Fred, or miaplacidus.

    However, the entries were all about the same "someone else"
