I have my vanity web site but I am not a frequent poster there because NetIdentity charge way too much for anything useful. There are some people with the same name out there that I would like to be disassociated with completely. Some guy who is into martial arts, body building and has a criminal record. A psychic reporter guy. A dodgy dietician guy selling suspect products.<\/p>\n<p>However my nickname googles exceedingly well, as there is nobody else who uses it as far as I know. People should consider not using their real name but associating themselves more with a handle\/nickname and using that at every opportunity.<\/p>\n<p>If you&rsquo;re naming your kid &#8211; consider a weird spelling; eg a silent letter in their name.
