Ever google your user name

#1 · 05-05-2006 06:10AM #1

or your real name or your email etc?
if yeah what comes up is it related to you in anyway? when i googled Blu_sonic it brought up my boards activity but also some other site i use the nick on

Banphrionsa · 05-05-2006 07:03AM

Interesting suggestion. Came up with these boards, and did not know I had a blog site tied to my boards.ie profile. Wonder what goes on there? Also, several others have adopted the Banphrionsa alias. A seventeen year old girl in New Jersey, USA. A 20 year old girl in Michigan, USA, etc., etc. Fortunately, they did not adopt my profile. So, the Banphrionsa name is not all that uncommon.

blu_sonic · 05-05-2006 07:05AM

I appear to be the only "BLU_SONIC" about the place

Banphrionsa · 05-05-2006 07:09AM

You are unique.

blu_sonic · 05-05-2006 07:10AM

why thank you, nice that somebody notices

Our man in Havana · 05-05-2006 07:15AM

Waste of time googling my user name! 5,930,000 results!

Ag marbh · 05-05-2006 07:50AM

My boards blog that I never write on comes up first for Ag marbh. That's pretty good, I might start writing in considering its bound to be queried.

Hagar · 05-05-2006 08:07AM

Unfortunately I share my real name with the most famous Down's Syndrome Actor in the world and a Ranger's football player.

Hagar turns up ok but Hagar was also a biblical name so lots of "Happy Birthday Ma, Love Abraham" references. Oh yeah also a famous jazz guy Jimmy Hagar.

All in all I just fade into the background, as it should be I suppose.

Apparently Shock Treatment is a horror film of some kind..
Creepy looking guy :eek: Wiki gave it a mention too.

A not so impressive punk band in the US.
Since I've shortened the name its all Saints and holy stuff.

Mossy Monk · 05-05-2006 09:03AM

all related to my internet endeavours

Nightwish · 05-05-2006 09:05AM

All related to the band of the same name.

Well with the shortened name, it now stands for a really impressive punk rock band "Suicidal Tendencies", so it now negates the not so impressive one!

Blisterman · 05-05-2006 10:38AM

There are a few other Blistermen around it seems.

monkeyfudge · 05-05-2006 10:45AM

User name is all me pretty much...

And for my real name I come in at number 5... I used to be higher but some gobshite with the same name went and got himself shot last week.

lodgepole · 05-05-2006 10:49AM

My username is a type of pine wood so that's all that comes up. My real name when typed as one word gets my website, but as two gets a string of GAA players, college lecturers and TV presenters before giving me a page 5 spot.

Was Hagar a selectable player in Final Fight also? No point googling my own name. Far too many results.

nialo · 05-05-2006 11:26AM

Ah the old username comes up with to many hits... Real name comes up with 10 hits for me

new paper clips etc...

Basq · 05-05-2006 12:13PM

Get practically all myself and a couple of distant cousins - username being my surname and all!

And for some reason, i put it in on either Google / Yahoo Images before and got Elvis Costello (

) - think it was because a distant relative of mine conducted an interview with him.

carbonkid · 05-05-2006 12:15PM

pffft...user names too popular, i didnt show up till near the end of the second page ¬_¬

05-05-2006 12:20PM

oddly my sin profile is the first hit!and i only posted there about 40 times!

legologic · 05-05-2006 12:21PM

I get a game like the reversi game on some nokias as no.1. Also myself a good few times (here mostly), my myspace, and some dude in the UK. Also image search gives me logic gates bult out of technic. Awesome!

J.R.HARTLEY · 05-05-2006 12:23PM

alarmingly enough despite masses of hits the first one on the pile for my real first name is a gay dating service :eek:

JRHartley wishes theyd take the site down and use the yellow pages instead

AnTaoiseach · 05-05-2006 12:29PM

Mine, unfortunately was alot of political debates quoted in papers etc.
Also www.antaoiseach.ie

I also use oursaviourjesus for some things and all I got for that was religious stuff.

Blowfish · 05-05-2006 12:48PM

A photographer has the number one spot for my real name, and all of the rest of the top ten apart from the second spot which is college stuff related to me.

My username I chose because it was something else (very nerdy) and that shows up. Unfortunately <myusername>.com is a sex toy shop:(. Should have checked that before registering.

Peteee · 05-05-2006 01:19PM

My boards blog, flickr account, My boards wiki and a random post from boards.

Theres a /. post in there on the second page too.

And a site for a red light district....

Wow, how does he fit in the training in between acting ?

Goodshape · 05-05-2006 02:05PM

I've got a few strange things..

A treatment or Multiple Sclerosis.

Shapely bath tubs

And a GO board applet for your website (that game they play in the movie Pi. Which is pretty cool).

CodeMonkey · 05-05-2006 02:10PM

Hey cool, I googled a very old user name and found out that I got an honourable mention in a writing competition in 2000 and won a poster. But the guy in charged had some outlook problem and lost a bunch of email addresses from participants which is why I never knew what happened haha.

Ever google your user name
