It was fun! My first name is very common, about 133,000,000 hits and since my last name in english means “pure, complete” I got 37,600 hits on that but not as a name. My name: only some contest wins! My first name is Eva(-Marianne) and here in Finland only 5 persons have got it in the last 150 years!

Hmm…there were 1,630,000 hits with my first and last name. Some were me (blog posts, contest wins, etc.), but apparently I share my name with a tv producer, a lawyer, a college professor, a researcher, an AP reporter (found a lot of her articles), a history teacher, etc. Apparently not only is my first name common, but the combo of it and my last name is too!!!

Margo, you are an original. There are 37 pages of “Margo Maguire” hits on Google. Every single one of them was you, including the ones in Spanish, Portuguese, German, Japanese, French (and a few other languages that I couldn’t define). If there is another Margo Maguire out there, she is a very quite person.

Neat post, Jenna. I had never googled myself but I did today. Using my married name, my real self shows up on page one at McGill University where I work (among other incarnations). When using my maiden name I am chielf of business solutions, an obstetric nurse and a spring duathlon athlete. Who knew?

Since I am both Millie Bullock and Mildred Bullock in real life I checked both and when I eliminated that hits that were really me (I have run a few websites for organizations in the past so I pop up that way), I found a college professor in Minnesota and a multitude of church secretaries in several different states (and I have to admit, “Millie Bullock” SOUNDS like a church secretary, doesn’t it?). In my “Mildred” incarnation, I am mostly in genealogy stuff from the 1700′s through about 1920. Not a lot of Mildred’s in the modern world, it appears.

I am SO chicken – I don’t ever do this! I don’t even look at online review sites because I can’t take the good OR the bad. They both mess with my head.

Under my pen name, I mostly only found myself. Under my real name I found all sorts of fan fiction writers…LOL I guess it’s a good thing I decided to write under a pen. Haha! I think there was one photographer.
