8.1 million results

Apparently there is a state house rep and a musician that share my name.
Some things to do with athletics that I did and some work I did in school.
Nothing bad overall as far as I can see from the first few pages.

Please accept my condolences. :(


I found a bunch of people with my first and last name reversed as in my first name is their last etc.

My username apparently gets around despite the odd spelling. I am affiliated with none of them. Also it's on urban dictionary as a smartass know-it-all which I was unaware of and think is fitting in real life.

Ohh I just googled my full name and it appears I have the same name as Eric Clapton. Lol.

Also, sterfry, is that the cover of Pink Floyd's album in your avatar? Guess who's got the record.

The question is: Was it a good obituary? ;)

8O Wow! Common name? Or were those mostly partial results?

That's pretty amusing. "Kaybee" is very common, as I'd have expected, and none of the immediate results link to me (thankfully). A lot of them link to KB Toys because the store's name used to be Kay-Bee Toys. Not very interesting, but I was a fan of Kay-Bee Toys as a kid. :)

That explains a thing or two :wink:

I google myself often (I think I'm fascinating), and it seems there's loads of different mes doing things I'm completely unaware of, maybe in my sleep, like in that film Fight Club

my real name is a fairly well known song, given name & surname.. ;)
plus i found a site that listed one of my old addresses, that i've never knowingly shared 8O
Fudo's results were more interesting though, although nothing new. there is a (i assume japanese) philosopher named Fudo, some kind of computer chip, yusei fudo from 'yu-gi-oh', a few restaurants & of course, my favourite fudo, Fudo Myoo :)

I've just Googled up my username. There were a lot of people who said nice things about me. There was also one member who posted something very nasty about me last September. "How do you lose CockneyRebel as a friend? Tell her that she's putting on her accent. I hate that b***h. She can rot and die in hell!" That was said about me the same night that some member was banned. I'm not going to get all worried about it. There are worse things happening in the world.

I hope it's a good song. I wouldn't be too pleased if a song had my name and was terrible.

I've also looked up my real name as well. I was quite alarmed at the things that popped up.
