Hashemite is quite obvious, nothing from here shows up because the front page is filled with Jordanian pages and so forth.

My real name: The first hit is a patent issued to a man with my name, then the Electoral Geography page with my name on it.

I tried both Mike Mylastname and then Michael Mylastname. I found on page 5 or 6, from Google, my name from UMass when I got commissioned six years ago.

No, I'm usually bested by a Florida psychologist, a Maryland Cisco systems engineer, and a University of Florida band somethingorother.  I'm on the first page, though.

My facebook is on the first page, but below a tech blogger, a semipro golfer from louisiana and the employment director from the cleaning crew at boston university.

I'm listed as a real estate agent, a former Shamrock Rovers football player during their glory years, an actor in the world famous 1989 film All Dogs Go to Heaven, a facebook page that is not mine some random Conor Flynn from Boston and a whole bunch of other random items of interest.

It turns out if I search my name + "tennis" the whole first page is me as opposed to only the first few results.  I'm surprised, I didn't think my name was all that uncommon.

I used to totally be front paged on Google, but now I don't see my own name until the second page (#15) as part of an RNC press release on Menendez.

I have two choices depending on my use of a nickname. Both show me as the top three hits. One has me with 6 of the top 7 and the other has 5 of the top 6.
