My name is great for SEO purposes: if you type my name into any of the major search engines, everything that comes up on the first page of results refers only to me. I thoroughly dominate the first several pages of results, too.

It’s unusual, though. I spend quite a bit of time searching for specific people (not in a creepy way, I promise) and there are fewer unique names than you’d expect. Even those people who have fairly unique names often get caught up in strange search results.

Thursday Bram: Your name is pretty unique, right? I am glad that my last name, Lindeskog, is not a common surname. :) I get good results on my name too.

It is funny that you mention the following:

"I’ve been known to make introductions with folks’ Twitter handles, rather than their name. I don’t feel too bad about doing so, though, since I’ve had the same done to me."

I often wear a cap with my Twitter handle, Lyceum, and at events, like Social Media Club, tweeps are saying: "So, you are Lyceum", when I say my name! ;)
