It often says Jay Honek instead. Can't quite figure out what that means.
 
Google tries to scan sites for relevant content and provide quick links to those on sites with lots of hits. Apparently Ted's name shows up a lot. ;-) If you search "Amazon.com" on Google, you'll see how they do it for that site. I guess Jay's a close second.
 
Well, if you do a Google search for Ted DuPuis, you'll find that the first page is entirely me, the 2nd page is mostly me, and it goes down from there.

My name seems to get around a good amount from the various newspaper articles and such related to the puppies.

Although, I probably do post here a lot. ;)
 
I just googled my name, and came up with a bunch of professors most of whom weren't me.
 
It does say something of the thnic tradition of scholarship, Michael :). As you might recall my wife is a Weinstein and therein do the docs, lawyers, and professors abound.
 
Interesting, all that collected data. The rather uncommon name Lawreston got some interesting hits, top of the list being Pilots of America; 4th being my website; others including matters of LAW in RESTON, VIRGINIA; and a couple newspaper stories about my photo exhibit. Then, my more common reference, Jerry Crute(nickname for over 40 years), was enlightening. The other four in the U.S. are collectively smarter than I, perhaps less law-abiding, and of different ethnic background. However, that name did get cross-referenced with Lawreston and/or my website.

I'm luckily buried under all the other famous people with my name.
 
Google my name and be prepared to be confused. Hits for my dad, my son and me. Either there are three of us, or one of us is the most eclectic person you've ever met. :D
 
We Jews aren't supposed to name our offspring for extant relatives. The old superstition was you were giving the living relative the evil eye. These days its just considered gosh. Does make it a bit easier to tell each other apart, though.

We all have different middle names, so there's none of that Jr. or III nonsense. And you are right, different first names would have made it easier. When dad was still alive some woman (mom or my wife, usually) would yell 'Ghery!' and all three of us would look to see who was in trouble. :D
 
At one time POA would pop up first for me, but now I'm back on page 2 or 3 (depending on the exact search)
 
My college roomates tracked me down for our recent reunion via my airplane and its FAA registry. I'm sure POA came up in the search.
 
I've had classmates track me down. I also had someone find me who was doing research on my father's side of the family. Heck, he knew more about them than I did! :confused:
 
I have a very unique name...like, only 2-3 people in the country have it. One of them resides in California and is a "girls gone wild" type photographer...
 
I found myself on Facebook, except the other self lives in Florida. Also found out his father has the same name as my father ... almost a little creepy...
 
I think I might be the only person in the world with my name. Just curious..Is it possible to be google proof?
 
You're definitely the only person I've met in the world with your name. And I thought my name was unusual! Go to France or Canada and everyone knows how to say it.

Isn't there an eponymous Star Wars character?

Interesting. It's anastronomical body. V, however, is not my last name. My mother made up my first name and there's only one family with my last name.
 
My wife's parents made up her name too. It just doesn't sound as intergalactic as yours.

My name comes up with about 9,000,000,000 hits for a travel writer. Of course, if you search just my last name it usually comes up with videos of A) comedian/magicians, or B) hydrogen bombs.

Speaking of which, I was listening to a back episode of Car Talk today and they read a letter from a "Dave Taylor." That you?

Nuh-uh. I know so little about cars it is scary.
 
Google my name and learn my namesake was kidnapped and ransomed at the age of 10 shortly after the Lindbergh baby. Not me, of course.
 
Since I don't know what your real name is, I googled what I saw on the screen and that's what I got. Kinda cool actually. Nobody's mistaken me for a porn star yet, though I can come up with big-time movie producers if I google myself just so.
