    I'm the opposite - my unmarried name is pretty unique - google it and I'm all that comes up. My married name is a lot less uncommon, though not exactly ubiquitous.

    There are many of "me" out there. One is even a woman I went to high school with who happened to marry a man with the same name as my husband. If I google my name, the first entry that pops up is the face book page of a gorgeous young woman who posts a lot of glamour type shots of herself. I get many e-mails from different people asking if I am the stunningly wonderful person they went to high school with. I never am. the other mees are just so much better than me; nobody's lookin' for "just me"...

    Googling me turns up a guy in San Francisco who works on some sort of youth council and takes up the first 10 pages of results.

    ...And a Liberty Ship that was sunk in 1945.

    Google first and last finds me. Google first name finds field hockey gear or burlesque. Google my last name finds depending on generation a musician/teacher/writer (but not waiter ), activists, and sometimes a very respected cantor.

    I never heard of anyone with my first name until I was an adult. And googling my first name brings up only 4 people. In the whole world. One in Ohio, one in North Carolina, and one in Brazil. And me. That Is It. And they all have different last names.

    My last name is pretty rare, too. No one has both my names. I rather like it this way.

    well, Tulip, that's impressive. Neither (none) of my names are common, but they are had by thousands of people.. just not two of any of them.

    But are they a cycling nut like you? I be they might be blown away by you, zipping along the bike. Or at least how your life has been transformed by cycling.
