Did you ever "google" your name?
 
Did you ever "google" your name?

I just did, my real one that is complete with " " and got 709 references back! I thought there would be more of me in the world - after all, you can never get too much of a good thing....

apparently I'm a priest, I've written a book called "Abortion and Healing", and I'm a UFO reporter - all that, on top of my job here.


What about the rest of you?

Mr Jones 21st September 2002 11:19

I'm apparently a former UK number one squash player and now coach to the rich and famous, a broadcasting pionner , the dean of the Temple Fay Institute for Academics and a famous cricketer

(apparently who I was named after the cricketer, but I still blame the Irish midwife for convincing my mother to "give him a nice Oirish name begorrah" :D

c2R 21st September 2002 11:21

If I google my full name, with quotation marks it returns absolutely nothing :-)

If I shorten the name, google comes up with about 1280 results, ranging from a NASA engineer, to a wrestler, a race car driver, a club DJ, a chef, and students of various disciplines. Mainly they appear to be of Irish or American origin.

400 years of oppression and the poor Irish still take the blame for everything :D Your name comes from the irish word for "cloud" by the way.


As for mine, it means "who is like God" - I was born to be a moderator... ;)
