Your Google doppelganger

On another mindless thread I started (it’s a knack, I know!) another poster (I’m looking at you, @dfbdfb) mentioned that:

So, who’s your google doppelganger? No names, of course, but what are they? What do they do?

My first google name-sharer is a professional bull rider. :slight_smile:

Lots of them, doing perfectly ordinary things :-). I have a common last name and a dated-but-common first name.

My Google doppelganger…Let’s just say it’s one of the most famous musicians of all time. I don’t come up in the first 200 ghits.

Damn. (Can I say that?) If I google me, it is me followed by a bunch of deceased people. :frowning:

My husband has a common name that he shares with a very well-paid major league baseball pitcher.

Mine is an Irish pub. :smiley:

I keep meaning to go there but it’s about a 5 hour drive…

You can use startpage.com to get google searches without your history. Without my history, I still come up on the 2nd page and my name + my school comes up as a suggested search.

Thanks, Romani. I’m afraid that if I google without the search history, those deceased people will come up three pages long and wide before I show up. :smiley:

Ha! Dfbdfb, you win the doppelgänger contest, hands down!

I used to be the only person with my name in the Google data. Now there is a second person with my name (ethnic spelling of my first name). My kids’ names are much more common, one D has an artist with her name, other D has several doctors. Son’s name is very common, a more interesting listing makes custom surfboards,

I’m one of a kind. :smiley: Both maiden and husband’s last name. Husband and kids are also one of a kind.

You’ve actually started some very interesting threads.

^Yeah, I used to have a last name which was only my family’s. There were almost none of us in the US. Then I married H, with one of the more common Irish names. And he has one of the most common first names to go with it. Never mind doppelgangers, I see people with his name all the time without even trying.

I dunno, Pizzagirl! Professional bull rider is right at the top, too! :slight_smile:

That other thread is far from mindless. As is this one…

Garage mechanic. Boom!

No. I know dfbdfb’s real name. Trust me, he’s won :slight_smile:

Elvis!
Paul McCartney!
Willie Nelson!
Mick Jagger!
Paul Simon!
Tiny Tim!

Have I guessed it yet???

My name is shared with a fairly famous person in the medical field. Thank heavens for her, my actual persona is like 8 pages down.

Dfbdfb s either Prince or Miles Davis…

I figured it out. It was going to drive me crazy.

Yikes…I did the google image search with a picture of me. I got a few nice looking women including Meryl Streep, but then I got Camila Parker Bowes and a 20 year old pic of Hilary with longer hair. What the heck???

How do you do that??
