1,130,000 results for my name. My personal site used to be ranked 2nd which was pretty impressive but then I sort of gave up on it because I don't really need it anymore so my rank has all but gone, have not really looked where it is now.

More than any time in history mankind faces a crossroads.
One path leads to despair and utter hopelessness, the other to total extinction.
Let us pray that we have the wisdom to choose correctly.

My name is not very common. So my personal site ( http://amarjyoti.com ) shows up first... :-D
My full name has just 4 pages , but I guess that is all just me

129,000 for my full name. (one of my sites comes in second)
I managed to find out that there was a domain in use for my fullname.com. The owner had just passed away, the name was expiring, and I grabbed it recently.
Probably won't ever use it, but I have an addiction to buying names, you see.

16 in Google if I type my name within the " " [limits the search to include the full term]
About 2120 if I dont include the name with in the " "

Both names with " " (As in, it HAS to be me) , 12000.
Mostly websites with security related news, since I used to find bugs/exploits in software (nothing major, but did make it bugtraq in several times), and since there are a lot of sites that mirror bugtraq, my name is there.

I only have 21,100 results...but my last name is not common. Not a single one has anything to do with me....and I even own the .com of my name....just haven't put anything on it.
<<Edit>>
I take that back. I had to dig a little more but there are some press releases with my name on them that show up.

My name without quotation marks yields 2,510 and the first two sites are my personal website with current contact information. A large majority of the first few are of me. For "Richard Brevig" there are 44 results, almost all of them are mine.

This has gotta be one of the strangest WHT topics ever.
Google has 166 entries for my full name. Every one of them is about me, results 1-166
I guess using my middle initial has paid offCurrent Project:
