Are you sure you (or your kid, for that matter) would want them to be that accessible on a Google search? Seems that could come back to bite them.
I say that because my name is pretty unique -- most hits on my name are relevant to me -- and I have to be very careful about anything I make public. Even more so than most probably have to be.
Fortunately, I'm a pretty boring person and it's not been much a problem.
- ghaff 11y agoI have somewhat mixed feelings about having a unique [1] first/last name pair. The bad case IMO is sharing an unusual but not unique pairing with someone who you really don't want to be confused with. Back pre-web, a friend of mine in NYC shared a name with someone who was involved in a fairly serious local baseball scandal. My friend received everything up to and including death threats on his voicemail. [1] According to "deep web" searches, not entirely but the one or two other cases have no web presence and may well be deceased.
- pavel_lishin 11y agoThe uniqueness of my name has yet to bite me in the ass. I'm sure there are other Pavel Lishins (Pavels Lishin?) in Russia and Eastern Europe, but I appear to be the only one on this half of the globe.
