    Ever Google your user name to see how and where others are using it?
    Okay, so I was at work yesterday and was quite bored.

    Some old guy is using mine too! And there's some concert using it too!
    I feel so used!

    G'wan! Google your name and get back to me!

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,350 ✭✭✭Lust4Life


    Yes, Kojak will likely find a reference to a post made here... followed by Atari Jaguar!

    My entry on boards appears before his in the list though. I win! I win!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,228 ✭✭✭bluto63


    I googled my old username which I used when I was like 13(sort of do still use it: uracompletetool, I know, I hate it too) and that is unique. I did find some weird stuff I used to do like forums and that...What the hell was I thinking?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,563 ✭✭✭connundrum


    Apparently there are a few of us about the place.. and no one can spell :D

    I rank #1 in Ireland though!

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 440 ✭✭Angels

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,216 ✭✭✭✭monkeyfudge


    I have the top listing and most of the listings for monkeyfudge... I do love the second entry though which is a photo story about a monkey recieving a parcel with some fudge in it. great stuff.

    I come up top for my real name too.. but there is also a composer who is the same age as me who comes up... oh and a scumbag who got shot recently pops up too.

    Ha! That's funny! I wonder if Monkeys are like Dogs in that they should not eat chocolate?

    This is fun reading the responses!

    I haven't tried Yahoo yet. Perhaps I'll do that next.

    Edit: Hmmm leads me to some Beauty Makeover and a site called Love Shack!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 697 ✭✭✭the Shades


    apparently it's some blues band.

    googling my own name only brings references to me


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,820 ✭✭✭Femelade


    They mostly came back to myself here but i did find this too which was kinda weird.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 131 ✭✭Lone Wolf

    Well, the Blue_Lagoon name is only unique to boards.ie, as it came from an old Brooke Shields film by the same name. I also live close to a blue lagoon in OC of So Cal while overseas, so I thought it would fit. Obviously, other users of the name come up when Googling. What did surprise me was that a few of my posts on boards.ie came up on Google. Why would anyone want to read what I have to say? What a craic!

    Googling my username links to my wikipedia user page, stuff I put on boards and various X Men/Mutant X sites.
    Googling my real name leads to boards stuff and some guy in the US with the same name as me who works in a law firm.


  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 60,110 Mod ✭✭✭✭Tar.Aldarion

    Purely because I was bored, I googled it. A musician came up for the first hit, that was nothing unusual. My blog was there for some reason aswell, again, nothing out of the ordinary.

    Then, a few links down, this crap gets tossed up:

    http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=55686920

    For the record, that's not me. I can only hope that this is a pisstake. Taking it at face value though, why the hell does some myspace emo rank higher than me and a musician?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,152 ✭✭✭dazberry


    Got 5 pages, generally all me related :D, except for some pretender from Leeds and a small bit of internet fluff. Weird thing was a number of people have linked to:
    http://members.boards.ie/dazberry/homey.jpg.The swines!

    Using my proper name well a few people of note - comic artist, american footballer, Mr Gay UK :eek:, some dude in Novell, some dude in Sun - until I come across a black American Actor, Model and Musician (bet that DD knows how to strut!) who was born 14 years to the day after me. Thought the second coming was only supposed to happen after the first one had finished ;).

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,558 ✭✭✭netwhizkid


    I googled and there is three other netwhizkid's in the world, One poster on an Australian forum has over 700 active posts another is completely defunct with 0 posts and a third guy has 29 posts. There were four pages of entries but the majority are myself as I use that nick on most sites I sign up to.

    An entire Dynasty of Indian politicians have stolen my name. The oul' fella seemed like a right hippy peacenik, though has a streak of "brits out" in him.

    I've found a few profiles with mmy avator. Seems like they are pretty much into programming, gaming etc, almost the opposite of me.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,611 ✭✭✭✭Sam Vimes


    mine returns a lot of terry pratchett references, ironically enough

    my real name brings up a painter from laois and myself as the second result :)

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,112 ✭✭✭Blowfish


    For my username there is info about an encryprtion algorithm, which was where I got the name in the first place. Blowfish.com however appears to be a sex toy shop :/ For my real name, I get a photographer as top link and me as second. There's also a producer, a surgeon, and a vice president of a company.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,025 ✭✭✭slipss


    Hmm there appears to be two other people using Slipss, one of them is a rather ugly American girl. Also alot of sites with mispellings along the lines of "Celebrity nipple slipss, caught on camera" which is nice.
    For my real name I turned up the vice president and PR spokesman for a multinational corporation, and a Detective Garda in the drug unit of harcourt street station:eek: :eek: well if that deosn't stink of irony.
