Under my married name, I seem to be a glamour model, DJ, engaged to a pilot killed in 1945, an actress, a professor of Science etc. Under my maiden name I am not mentioned. HOWEVER, when I put my eldest brother's name in what comes up? Lots of Bonsait Pots. Not too surprising as that is how he makes his living - but these are images others have put on there. maggie

Googled myself and found out what I was up to! Googled Mr Medlock before I went out with him, just to see if all the stuff he was spouting in the pub was true...and it was, especially the bit about him being replaced by a drum machine...what piece of machinery could I replace him with? We already have a dishwasher! Sheila

It actually brings up me. One of the references several pages on is for someone in Wales with the same name but all the rest are me. But I am a self employed artist and I need good coverage on the net. That's how a lot of customers needing glass engraving find me. I was also recently involved in a science deliberation which means you can even see me in a webcast here http://www(.)danacentre(.)org(.)uk/events/2006/09/08/210 Not famous yet but doing my best! LOL Sue

Just googled myself and my name sakes are a braille transcriber, a reflexologist and an MD in internal medicine. Not very exciting really, but what is worrying is that one of my name sakes is a male!

ooooo! How spooky! I found one picture of someone with my name even spelling Jacky the same way. I know I can find entries for me if I just search but hadn't tried images before. Off to do my maiden name! Jacky:-)

I have tried my wife's name and it appears that her alter ego is a star of some softporn movies. I'll just check out the picture in case she's been moonlighting. NO Paul! I won't send you the link!

Glad to report that my wife hasn't been moonlighting. It certainly wasn't her picture. Have checked my full name and it transpired that I am a character in Doctor Who. Quote ' a fictional character in the British science fiction television series Doctor Who, played by Shaun Dingwall.' So both me and the missus have 'starred' in TV or movies. Pete
