Ever Google somebody's name? - Page 2 - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

PulpMind · 08-28-2003, 11:40 AM

my name is Jesiah
a fairly rare name, seeing as my mom made it up, and anyone else who has it has either also had it made up, or is of some ethnicity...
interestingly, www.jesiah.com used to be a Christian rock group. luckily, they went bunk, so now I can get my domain back

I just googled my name again, and found an interesting bible site that states that Jesiah is another translation of Issaiha..
and also found a RPG site of someone who used the shortening of my name along with my name - Jesiah & Jesi
and now that I've posted this, the TFP will probably come up too

Derwood · 08-28-2003, 11:54 AM

I must be pretty important, as there were 45 hits from my name. And my name is not one that is repeated often. Many of them were from guitar tabs that I had posted, of course, but the other 1/2 were from newspaper articles

hobo · 08-28-2003, 02:43 PM

We did this in school a couple years ago. It basically shows you anything with the name in it. Usually it is someone else with that name that shows up. Especially with people who have very common names.

seizei · 08-28-2003, 04:59 PM

I've done a search for my own name, and I get tons of links for this goofy looking ba'hai/christian? musician guy, plus a couple for myself for japanese language stuff and martial arts sites.

Have been checking for a girl I almost dated when I was 12 years old (in 1992) for a long time now.... I really liked her, but my friend thought she wasn't cool.. and he called her and said I thought she was a 'stupid bitch'. I didn't have the strength of character to stand up to my 'friend' and I moved on. I've been trying to find her to apologize for about 6 years now (just for that, I'm engaged anyway - just want to let this girl know that I was sorry). If anyone knows a Nicole Beattie that used to live in Northern Ontario, Canada, send her here

viejo gringo · 08-28-2003, 05:30 PM

I get a total of 5 results when searching my first and last name is quotes.

Thraeryn · 08-29-2003, 05:53 AM

One of the first links that came up when I Googled my first & last names was this site: Tim Smith dot Com about how I'm apparently running for Mayor of Fort Lauderdale, Florida. I'm just so glad I don't look like that asshole.

Disclaimer: The comments made about Tim Smith above reflect no personal insult, as I neither have read nor care to read his site and determine whether he is or is not an asshole.

IckUber · 08-29-2003, 09:00 AM

yeah i tied searching for me. Couldnt find me anywhere.

Averett · 08-29-2003, 09:08 AM

Woah... I tried www.anyhoo.com, and it came up with the person's address and home phone number who I originally was looking for.... Stalker here I come!

jbrooks544 · 08-29-2003, 10:15 AM

apparently I am a large, black college football player!

Who knew? I thought I was just an average, middle aged white guy! You learn something every day man...

BigDonkey2 · 08-30-2003, 10:47 AM

pcmunkey · 08-30-2003, 07:23 PM

frogger27 · 08-30-2003, 07:24 PM

My mother and aunts were looking up our names on google. I'm an author and my sister is a very famous porn star...I never knew...lol

blindawg · 09-01-2003, 02:45 PM

Try a phone number areacode no puncuation.. it usually shows name and address.. click the Map button and viola, map to theri house in seconds..

1337haxor · 09-01-2003, 03:16 PM

I googled my name and got some photographer's site. I also found the site i made for my astronomy club back in high school, its still up on my server too.
I tried to google a friend because I knew her birthday was sometime in august but didnt know the day. Didn't find it

I guess its harder to find info on a minor since they don't have that many records yet. I ended up just asking her.

edit: I was also shot in the head when I was 17 in high school

Esoteric · 09-01-2003, 05:47 PM

I have when I was extremely bored, lol.

hehe, I like to do this, it's fun and sometimes you really can find some interesting things. Like people's full body rubber suit fetishes, LOL.

oberon · 09-02-2003, 03:40 AM

I've occasionally looked up some people I used to know, but lost track of. I don't consider it at all a bad thing.

rev_skarekroe · 09-02-2003, 11:14 AM

I like googling the names of my ancestors.

Hard8s · 09-02-2003, 09:15 PM

Yeah, just Googled my Ex-Girlfriends name and found out her Uncle just died. Guess I should send my condolences.

mrcraptastic · 09-02-2003, 09:21 PM

i did it once for some guy that was really pissing me off online, lucky for me he was the only one with his last name in new zealand.. found out where his parents worked, his ISP, his address, and scared him well enough that he quit trying to annoy me further

Battlefield · 09-02-2003, 10:07 PM

I've googled people before, and found their personal webpages etc. Truth is I felt like a total stalker doing it

insect2003 · 09-02-2003, 11:01 PM

yeah it's pretty interesting

Dano069 · 09-03-2003, 04:50 AM

I've Googled my name and found out I'm a police chief in Canada somewhere. Of course, that's my adopted name I'm using. Don't know my birth name.

"Are you my mother?"

raeanna74 · 09-03-2003, 05:35 AM

I've done it often with new people I meet and with all my old friends and family. Actually was helpful. Unemployment Services seemed to have hubby's information all wrong. Come to find out there is someone out in California with his same first, middle and last names. We let Unemployment know and hopefully things are straightened out now.

JStrider · 09-03-2003, 06:32 AM

for my name you can find a couple old track times... and some stuff about graduating highschool... and some pictures of me from my highschools webpage...

ObieX · 09-03-2003, 06:40 AM

I've done it a few time for the hell of it, just to see if anything would turn up.

CapnWaffle · 09-06-2003, 11:03 PM

Googling for some of my old aliases and e-mails can lead to some fairly embarassing stuff. I mean, I was a young, geeky, AOLer, so I practically had no shame back then.

That's not to say it's not good for some laughs, tho. Especially the ones that aren't me. For example, I'm a woodcarving expert, apparently.

lady · 09-07-2003, 02:36 AM

Apparently there were a lot of women with my name in the 1700s and 1800s. Didn't find anything about me.

I've googled a couple of guys I've met online. Saw some embarassing freshman pics. heh

SiN · 09-07-2003, 05:28 AM

hm, i've done it before and doing it now.

just trying to find old friends and such, may be having a bit of luck.

oh, and because of my uncommon last name, a search for me in quotes has no results. heh.

Sensei · 09-07-2003, 09:14 PM

Yeah I Google people I meet and my professors as well. Some go as far as the search newspaper archives with Lexis-Nexis but I'm not that extreme.

oushi · 09-09-2003, 10:47 AM

I'm the head artist over at LucasArts and I'm in the national wrestling hall of fame.

BuddyHawks · 09-09-2003, 12:26 PM

The West of Scotland Amateur Radio Society has a competition named after me.

eschmidt · 09-10-2003, 02:52 AM

I do this regulary..... always when I meet a new person, next day I search on google for this person. But mostly there are no results for this person.

Destrox · 09-10-2003, 03:42 AM

Yeah, found out the one girl i work with was in the miss america pagent in 2001 for the state finals. Didnt win, but thats damn cool.

Capt.JamesHook · 09-10-2003, 10:40 AM

I have looked up screen names before, but never a real name.

copenhagen · 09-14-2003, 10:43 PM

I just found out that i star in hardcore gay videos. I'm going to go drink myself into a coma now.

iamjero · 09-15-2003, 08:57 AM

I do it all the time. Nothing wrong with it unless you accidentally get into there medical records or credit card numbers or something.
