I get a Scottish lawyer and a bit part actor from Coronation Street. The real “me” gets a mention on page 2, but I do get on the first image page along with this fat knacker and a kid with pencils up his nose.

Can't believe there's a Scottish lawyer called Harry the Spider?

My own name is the same as a moderately successful UK road cyclist so all I get is how many races he's won and the occasional muppet from Wiggle asking me if I'm [i]the[/i] * ***** 🙂

Is that a statement or a question?

I have an unusual name, so the first hit on Google is me (my G+ profile). My Facebook page is on the first page of results, so I'm not difficult to find.

The other results are really just misfires and different results, in Google's 'did you mean something else?' stylee.

First 5 results on web search are some dh race pictures, then my g+ profile, then the phone number and addresses of two people with the same name. Some obituaries, and then my fb page.

Images search, of the first 15 results, 10 are of me, all of which are biking related.

Do I win?

I appear to share my name with a team member of Omaha Rollergirls, a roller derby team. I think I've been using the name longer though.

Oh, the other name, the one I use "OUT THERE". Pretty pointless, for I am legion. Politicians, footballers, actors, professors, loads of us.

Depending on how you (miss)spell my surname you get one nice bloke and 4 rather nasty blokes. I however don't seem to exsist.

I think I'm the lucky one..

Apart from one imposter who throws in a middle name, it would appear I am unique!

My (123people.co.uk) Tag Cloud is interesting too....

All my images searches seem to suggest that male pattern baldness is not in fact genetic, but down to one's moniker.
