Funnily enough, I have a very common name and take quite a bit of relief in knowing that were someone to even attempt to look me up, they would see a number of authors, artists, politicians, etc. long before anything of me ever appeared. I've gone searching once or twice out of curiosity, and didn't find anything relevant on at least the first two or three pages of Google, Bing, etc.

I suppose the difference is that when I make any sort of professional blog, etc. I do so under online handles in place of my legal name because I see the content as being the important bit, not the person it's coming from; the credibility flows from the information provided, not the name it's tied to.

...Well, provided it's not xXx_DongMaster6969_xXx or whatever. :)
