Yes. I've had newspaper articles written about me, but haven't had the issue and have therefore googled my name + the newspaper title.

I get my students to do this - to see the difference in the number of hits with and without quotation marks. One of last year's intake found out he shared his name with an infamous bank robber, and one of the females was listed as a glamour model! No-one was more surprised than the students themselves!

yep lol
and i had forgotten that at one point when i was younger, that i was a "scientist" doing behavioral experiments with crayfish and that is what popped up first :P (i was about 10 yrs old at the time)

--after i had written a "letter to the editor" about an article in Science mag i started getting letters from all over the world, asking me for my "paper" and such(which was really weird and cool at the same time)

Yes - and there are quite a large number of people (I think about 60) with my first and last name and middle initial...

This is probably how the American authorities sometimes pick on a traveler due to a mistaken identity, and cause them all sorts of drama!

I didn't until I read this question and I'm kind of annoyed that I was able to find so much information about myself available to anyone who knows my full name. :(
