You're Not Original

[Pyser]

I'm sure we've all googled our own names by now. Well, when I did that, I found that some "writer" (aka college kid) has been using my name as his main character in some series of crap stories. So I just wrote him and told him if he doesn't stop using my name, I'm going to start writing bad stories about some character using his name.

Coupled with the fact that I checked my name on Friendster, and there's like 4 more me's there, too!

Can't tell you why I'm upset, but come on. I don't like there being another me out there. At the same age. Responding to the same name I do when roll is taken (or was taken, when that was an issue).

There may be some girl out there saying my name is the worst lay she's ever had. What if I meet her best friend, and she thinks I suck in bed, even though it's another me??

And so on.

[AZSpeechCoach]

But if you ever commit some serious crime, you can blame it on the other you.

[Pyser]

that's true. there is a world of upside to this I never considered.

i feel like i should write my whole life story down, and give it to this other me. then, if something should happen to me, he could step right in, and no one would miss a beat.

it's actually like i have my own understudy. hmmm...

[cuervo72]

Dude, I'm a "III"...so I've known of at least two more my entire life.

[PilotMan]

LMAO!

[mckerney]

I'm also a Division 1 college football coach.

Geez dude, let the poor colege kid alone ... noone cares what your name is or do they care he used it in a book. Maybe you should step away from the computer, walk outside, look around theirs 1 billion people on this planet.

Get a hobby, go watch a movie, leave some college kid alone with your jibberish.

[Axxon]

I have run into a couple of other Axxon's too and it only bothers me when I can't use it as a sign in name. Thing is, Axxon is a made up name that I used in a story 20 years ago. I've even found some lost friends who saw the name and remembered the story and asked if I was me. If I put that story online I guess I'd get some of the duplicate Axxon's sending me the same type of email thinking I'd copied them. The irony.

[Axxon]

dola, I guess many people made up the name actually. I googled Axxon and found out it's also the name of several companies.

Man, all these S.O.B.'s copying me. :D

She'd be right but for all the wrong reasons? :eek:

someone's sense of humor is misfiring this morning

[sachmo71]

I am a unique snowflake.

[Tigercat]

My name is very uncommon, but not uncommon enough, in Australia my namesake seems to like to commit violent crime AND get caught. Stupid island of criminals.

[Crapshoot]

I know my name is unique - That's why I changed my user name on the board.. :D

[Pyser]

hey, I'm also a writer for USA Today! nice!!

i think it would be great to have a "me" convention. just get as many of us together as possible, preferably at a bar that checks IDs very strictly. wonder if they would get suspicious if like 30 people with the same name showed up.

then we could all swap wives or something.

[sterlingice]

Mine is also unique. Something about the dad's side of my family getting off the boat about 4 generations ago and making up a new last name for America.

SI

[JeeberD]

My real name is unique, but there are other "Jeebs" out there.

I stand alone as JeeberD, though...

[Fidatelo]

My name is stupidly common. That's one thing I like about Fidatelo, I've never once had a website respond with "that username is taken", it's 100% mine baby!

[fantastic flying froggies]

I used to be a formula 1 grand prix driver...

[Abe Sargent]

I'm an online writer, so my name gets a bajillion hits from all my articles and people linking to my articles and whatnot.

-Anxiety

[DanGarion]

There is a Medal of Honor recipent that I share my real name with.

And except for some idiot on Dark Age of Camelot that stole my name I'm the only DanGarion in teh w0rld!

Nobody has posted in the forums in a quite a while so my career must be going in the shitter.

[KevinNU7]

One of my High School friends hooked up with this guy with the first name Kevin at a party a few towns away. We then found out he had the same last name as me. That was akward but created so good High School jokes

Justice comes to Rite Aid's Franklin Brown
Accounting Today, November, 2003 by J. Edward Ketz


On October 17, a federal jury in Harrisburg, Pa., convicted the former chief counsel of Rite Aid, Franklin Brown, on 10 counts, including conspiracy to falsely inflate the earnings of Rite Aid and lying to the Securities and Exchange Commission.

This verdict constitutes the first conviction of a corporate executive following the massive wave of corporate scandals that hit the business world in 2001 and 2002. As such, this welcome news serves notice to the remaining corporate crooks that justice is coming.

To recap: Last year, the SEC filed charges against Rite Aid's former CEO, Martin Grass, ...


What's funny is that I used to work for Rite-Aid when PCS HealthSystems was a subsidiary of that company... I used to get his e-mail all the time.

[Glengoyne]

When I was in college there was another guy named Steve McClure listed in the phone book. We often got each others calls. Shortly after my first marriage, my wife got a call from the other fellow's aunt, who was very surprised that he had been married. They talked for nearly half an hour.

[EagleFan]

I bet there's another 'him' out there thinking the exact same thing. ;)

[Pyser]

this is why my wife-swap idea is so brilliant.

of course, i would need to get married. but i think all the other "me's", we should share. everything. we already share a name. i could use some of their money, too, i suppose.

Just make sure the other 'yous' aren't married to poor, 450 pound, white-trash beasts. That wife swap thing won't look so good then.

[Pyser]

true. maybe i should put together a "me" newsletter.

[Greyroofoo]

I'm a real estate agent and a race car driver :)

[Mac Howard]

Google returned 1,640,000 items for Malcolm Howard so there goes any idea I had of being unique :rolleyes:

You guys never realized it but I had been dead since 1991 (if you don't believe me, look at the birth year). http://www.defleppardsol.com/steve2.htm

[miked]

I have a hard time finding others with my name...except this coach:

Here I am, I rule (http://www.iuwashdc.com/Mike%20Davis%20Now%20What.jpg)!

[Pyser]

ive got to stop. now im also a vice president of a college, a hockey player, an art gallery owner, and a nazi!

(the nazi will not get our newsletter, nor be involved in the much anticipated March 2005 wife-swap).

[Pyser]

dola, mike d, i thought you were a beastie boy.

one loney beastie i be, at that.

[vex]

My real name is slightly common, but "vexroid" returns 169 entries, and they're all me since I came up with vexroid in 2000:)

Many are from FOFC, OUFans.com, a couple of Christian forums, and my biography from 10th grade is still on there:D

[TLK]

Holy Crap!!!

I just joined your fan club..... woooo hooooo.... :)

[Glengoyne]

Hmm, I'm apparently a cutting Edge rock climber in the U.K.

[Pyser]

hmm, another "me" just denied my request to be his friend on friendster.

a me divided cannot stand! who doesnt want to be friends with their potential alter-ego??

[korme]

I am a unique snowflake.
your not your fucking khakis

[Huckleberry]

I'm the only me in the world. Probably ever.

My internet user name is obviously much more common.

[Gallifrey]

Just make sure the other 'yous' aren't married to poor, 450 pound, white-trash beasts. That wife swap thing won't look so good then.

:D Good one EagleFan.

I have been told many times that hits are directed to the music sites that I show up on from someone searching my name (not common, but easy to spell correctly when they have the record cover) in one of the engines.
I had never searched my name on Google or Yahoo until reading all this, and sure enough they start popping up.

[MacroGuru]

Im a RB for the Kansas City Chiefs

Im Nonacademic Farm Staff at the University of Illinois

Im an Exec. VP at Novellus

Sgt in the 460 Squadron RAAF durring WWII

[Craptacular]

Common last name, uncommon first name. I know there's a school named after me somewhere down south. I was in the same class as someone else at UW with my name. I used to get some of his junk mail, especially early in the school year after our addresses changed. Hopefully he never got anything important of mine. He wrote a column for one of the school newspapers, and I often wrote letters to the editor. We probably confused some readers.

Last time I googled my name, it came up with a lot of stats and articles for a pro soccer player, and a college golfer.

If you're Larry Johnson, you could also be a has-been, once-was-great baketball player.

If you're Christian Okoye, you have a weird name.

Nope, just pinged my name Dennis Thomas....

[EagleFan]

Hmm, I'm a:

Ex Sales Vice President for Infineum

An Estate Agent (Real Estate?)

An understudy in some sort of cheesy looking play

Military Weapons Historian

A Booster Club President of some club ice hockey team in Hamilton, Ontario

A Producer of some other cheesy sounding play

Came in 4th place in some type of midget auto racing last year

A church administrator in Pensacola

In the past - a goal keeper in the American Soccer League in 1927

According a a testamonial page for some stupid car book, a Captain in the US Coast guard

A Baptist minister in Long Island



Nothing too major there, though I would have loved to get that Infineum guy's payvheck by mistake. ;)

[Vince]

I'm me. My name returns 7 hits -- 5 of which are me, and 2 of which are a roots geneological chart with some Agnes Cressio (whom I've never heard of -- and I thought my family were some of the only Cressios around) who is listed right after someone named Vince. Not so common a name, mine.

[Simms]

Ryan Phillippe played me in a movie (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0325596/).

I have never seen my particular combination of first and last names anywhere else.

[Danny]

I am the only one that comes up when googling my name. I believe it is a distinct possibility that I am the only Daniel/Danny Drickman on this planet.

[Suicane75]

I'm apparently a pretty good mountain biker.

[MIJB#19]

My name written out as it's officially been given to my by my parents is unique.
When I go by the Michael-to-Mike version of my name, I am:

* a talented swimmer
* a volleyball player
* a SWOS player
* a hobbyist soccer expert
* a board gamer
* a computer games reviewer
* an NFL fan

Amazingly enough, besides the top listed young swimmer I really am all of the above.
