general Have you ever Googled yourself?

[Dreambiscuit 8,024]

Have you ever Googled yourself (or someone with the same name as you)? What results did you get? Were you the first person of that name to come up in your search results? If not, describe who it was (but please don’t include anything too personal that might compromise your own details). Have you ever seen your own photo (one that you didn’t post yourself) show up in a search?

I have Googled 'TheRockARooster' and I see some photos and stuff from the MLP Forums and also found a fried chicken restaurant called 'Rock-A-Rooster', lololololol.

Yep. I share a name with a pretty decent sports player so information about him is pretty much the only thing that shows up. Kind of nice having him as basically a privacy shield on Google lol

[SparklingSwirls 21,261]

Who hasn’t?  

If I search “SparklingSwirls”, I get my own old Deviantart profile and also someone’s MLP OC by that name (seems to be Twilight and Flash Sentry’s daughter…)

As for my real name, yup I’m pretty sure I’m the only person in the world with my full name. No images of me show up fortunately.

[Cash In 21,517]

Google searching "Cash In" just gets you finance related stuff. Can't say I'm too surprised. :p

[Dreambiscuit 8,024]

I took a look and found there’s a Broadway performer who shares my full maiden name, which surprised me a bit. Not much otherwise. I have seen pictures of myself on Google Images from time to time, but not under my own name, but rather it was associated with a job I used to do.

[ZiggWheelsManning 7,371]

Never searched for myself there as Ziggs  

[Evil Pink One 13,000]

Yup... And what a fine specimen i am....

[Savygriffs 5,022]

No, and honestly I'm scared to. 

[ZiggWheelsManning 7,371]

Proud I never typed up myself.  

[Kantet 166]

I checked my main nickname on the Internet several times, I only find accounts in different social networks, this is also how you can check the information that someone else can google about you

[Guest]

Yes, there's a famous sports player with my name apparently so he takes up all google pages while I comfortably sit in the back. That and I don't have any social media so that helps too.

[Twitchy-Tremor 281]

I never did untill I saw this thread 

so I saw an instagram for someone that post lots and lots of nature pics and then a IMDb for someone who was in a movie called push about cancer.

well that was interesting 

[Ryuuko 146]

a few times. nothing interesting ever came up, of course, seeing as how guarded i am with my personal information.

[DubWolf 16,621]

Lots of people named like me (all 3 names). Actually I’ve even met 2 people with the same name (minus middle name). Nothing if me shows up.

Actually I found someone that’s similar to me (my background) so lol people could think that was me.

[Prospekt 10,984]

First thing that comes up is some guy on LinkedIn who works for Spirit Halloween. None of the other results are me. I have looked myself up on some of those people search websites and it wasn't too difficult to find myself after specifying my home town/state. The info that's available for free is already a little creepy but you can pay them to dig deeper in public records and find all sorts of personal info.

[RDDash 18,867]

I really don't want to, besides seeing my social profiles I will end up seeing someone else who shares my name. It's kind of weird.

[Pony Flutters 530]

While I won't share exact information regarding my name or identity, apparently I share a name with a baseball player. 

[Clawdeen 12,110]

Yeah. I share the same name as a journalist in another country. She’s just as iconic as I am because just viewing her X account she exposed a guy publicly who was hitting her up trying to cheat on his wife. 

[daviddaviddavid 772]

Yeah. The only thing that comes up (for me, I share a name with a few celebrities) is my LinkedIn profile, which means that I'm doing a reasonably good job of hiding my internet footprints. 

[Princess Celestia 621]

Yes I have!

And I can tell, that it scares me a bit.

Some things written are very nice, but there are pictures I don't want to mention. It really hurts me deep inside.

Happily Celestianism is factor that is included. Even the AI is heavily informed about Celestianism and its significance for the future.

Guess who planted it there?

Magic friends, magic!

[Lawyer Slip 1,179]

No. But I kinda doubt there'd be anything.
