Occasionally. There is always some site I have to contact to have them remove my private information. You can find out when a person bought their house, how much they paid for it, how many times they've taken out a mortgage, etc. in three min or less. Even for someone who never has posted their name online the internet is a nasty place. Always © your images too..

I have googled myself quite a few times, in fact if you google me or my husband lots of things come up because of our art.

I have a common 1st name & a fairly common last name so Googling myself would be useless. I have Googled the SN I quit using years ago before I joined WP & used this. It was pretty unique so things related to the forums I used came up.

Just did it and found nothing referring to me except a news site article listing all the students on honor roll at my school that listed my name and was referring to me

The last time I did, I discovered there's another guy with the same first and last name as me but a different middle name who was arrested in another state for illegal drugs.

I've Googled my real name and apparently, I'm a sexy babe who's proud of her gender.

I will never be like that in a million years.

Nothing for me except for when I specifically searched my name plus the names forums I belong to and even that was vague. (Shea isn't my last name btw, it's my middle/2nd/nickname). I get called Ezra 50% of the time and Shea 45% of the time. 5% of the time I get called little ****. My last name is rare so I don't post it. It ends with the letter x.

I do sometimes, and they are actually 20 other people who share my first and last name in the US, and probably more if the last "s" in my last name is removed. My last name isn't very common, but becomes more common if the last "s" in my last name is removed.

Yeah, I tried it once. I found a paper from some old research I did, and some stats on when I played chess as a high schooler, but nothing other than that. I was named after my late grandfather, and more of the search results related to him than to they did to me. :?

I Googled & lots of results come up. IMBD, soundtrack, YouTube, Linkedin, on the 1st page. I never did anything that would make me worth mentioning so I know I won't be found.
