Kathleen in VA Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 I put in my maiden name...........I'm a doctor, but I died of kidney cancer in '97! That's so sad. You seem okay today;). I get myself as writer, reviewer, or copy editor, but then I have a very odd name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TXMomof4 Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 How funny! With my married name I'm a personal injury lawyer. With my maiden name I'm listed in The Peerage - A genealogical survey of the peerage of Britain! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Dominion Heather Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 I'm a realtor in New Mexico. Actually that is the ONLY entry that comes up... she and I have an unusual name. There are only the two of us! ETA: This was my 1,000th post! Who Hoo! See how much I love you JFS in IL? I have given you my 1000th post.

Tarheel Heather Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 I'm a doctor, quite a few. Actually worked with one once, it was funny! My maiden name is some city in Texas so not much with that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crissy Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 Hmmm. Nope. Crissy is not a name you want to Google if you're interested in finding a respectable profession. :001_huh: ETA: Hey! She must not be...um...performing any longer. I just searched and I came up with more results for Crissy Field, an art gallery and a coffee shop than anything else. What do you know. Nothing with my full name, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris in CA Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 by my maiden name I'm a film maker and by my married name I'm a photographer Say Cheese! oh and apparently I've had some kind of horrible divorce proceedings, what a thing to find out on one's anniversary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kelli in TN Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 I live in Boston and I am about 17 years old but I have a high up position at Northrop Grumman Corp in California. It does no good to google my maiden name. It is a strange Norwegian name and nothing ever comes up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abbeyej Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 I'm the only one with my name. But if I enter my maiden name, I'm one of the richest business people in America. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elegantlion Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 Oh, I'll play..... Let's see I'm a Celtic Harpist, wrote a cookbook and an autobiography, and I'm a banking Vice-President. But here is my favorite, apparently I'm an Admiral in the Gamma Quadrant. (star trek). Here's a blurb from my profile.... Psychological Profile: Sweet as sugar cane and just as hard. Don't let the adorable softness of appearances fool you. Paula is a hard, no non-sense woman who very well maybe walking, talking saccharine, but she's also a cunning business woman and born military leader. :lol::lol::lol::D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KAR120C Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 Somehow no matter whose name I google (mine included!) they have a high school track or cross country record... What's really weird though is if you google my husband's name together with mine in quotes, like "Ward and June Cleaver", you get ANOTHER couple with exactly the same names and all their wedding pictures! Weird weird weird. Apparently they're about our age too, but they don't look a thing like us. My dad found it (so apparently he has too much time on his hands... LOL) and thought it was hysterical.

GraceinMD Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 So - what do YOU get when you google your name???? Two things: 1) my maiden name is what I aspire to be: an "efficiency specialist!" And what's weird, the bio includes info about this person's mother, who was a schoolteacher and saved all sorts of the detritus of her teaching career. Well, my mother was also a schoolteacher and saved all that stuff. But what also funny (ok, maybe just to me!) is that IRL I worked as an editor for a year - and this "other me" has a grating typo on her website. Should I email her?! But an efficiency specialist - wow! That sounds as though I could use lots of organizing and office supplies - and call it a business expense. Ahhhh! 2) Part of my IRL job as an editor included writing brief summaries of original research from medical journals. When those summaries propagate themselves around the web, they have my name on them (even though as originally written, it was clear that I was citing/summarizing a primary research article), making it appear that I'm the world's expert on ... just about everything (tell my 11 yr old, please!). I have gotten dozens and dozens of calls and emails and letters over the years requesting my opinion (e.g., for newspapers, TV shows, other journals, etc.) on everything from pediatric heart murmurs to forensic r*pe exams to orthopaedic surgery to seizure disorders to snake bite. The first few times it happened, I guess I was, um, flattered, but v-e-r-y puzzled. I finally figured it out, and could start telling people to READ THE ARTICLE THAT WAS CITED (nicely, of course).

cin Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 Pediatric/Adolescent Psychiatry, Realtor, and get this: Director of Career Services, in the field of Education Management! :hurray: Under my maiden name there is too much to list. On a fun note, There was another girl by my name who use to go to my ob/gyn. So, I'm seeing the infertility doctor and going through all kinds of indignities, and I go for my annual with the regular ob/gyn. He comes in and asks me if I like the depo-provera shot, any adverse side effects? I'm thinking...hmmmmm. He says, was there a problem? I said, That's NOT me. I'm trying to GET PREGNANT. He got the other Jane Doe's chart and apologized profusely. Especially after seeing what all I've been through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mom2boys Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 Under my married name, I died of ovarian cancer in 2000! Under my maiden name, I am a freshman at Eastern Mennonite University. Nothing too exciting there. I have a pretty unusual name, so I'm not surprised. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yslek Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 I didn't find anything under my name (except an expired facebook page) and very little under my maiden name. (A facebook page with a picture of a girl on the beach in CA and an article about a 21-year-old with my name who is disappointed to be living in an area where the iphone can't be used.) Bummer...I was all excited to find out who I really am. :glare: All this is probably because I'm Kelsy and not Kelsey. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlotteb Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 With my married name, I am an author of sign language books, a children's home director and a psychiatrist! My mom would be so proud, LOL! Nothing for my maiden name, it was too uncommon. However, dh is apparently a punter for an NFL team! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kay in Cal Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 1. I'm a Spanish teacher at a small Catholic school. 2. I'm a German man who is a very high ranking Scientologist. Mostly people are mad at him for defrauding them of various amounts of money. 3. I'm the owner of an art gallery (this may be the same person as #2 above, I can't tell). 3. I'm me! Most of the hits are actually me... either as a pastor or homeschooling mom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
