    i've got a common name. Lots of people share it. myname.com is a real estate agent. But mostly it's the NFL player that shares my name that i find on google.

    My last name was misspelled on Ellis Island when my grandfather came over. It was just phonetically spelled by the guy working there when my grandfather spoke. Gheddo did not know English at the time, so he did not know how to correct the guy.

    I am the only one in the world with my name. It is kind of cool when choosing an email address.

    I'm well-known in the Ulster football and London rugby communities. Which is to say nothing of the fine scholarship I've produced at Trinity.

    Thankfully, neither Sconnie or either of my names has not been killed...either that or I'm doing it wrong

    I think I must be doing it wrong, because I tried "Johnson is killed by" in all four catergories and got bubkus
     
  10. Try WAS killed by ... most stories are written in past tense, unless of course you're hoping for a caption of a photo that shows Johnson getting killed ...

    Killed by (last name):

    - Police initially thought I killed myself, then determined it was by homocide
    - I was killed by a powerful mix of heroin and cocaine, not tainted drugs
    - I was a member of the British army killed in WWI in 1918 at the age of 35 (why was I still in the army, dammit)
    - I was a wireman killed serving with the British Army in 1916
    - I was an Alabama soldier killed in the Civil War

    Well, I am sick of fighting wars. My last name is hard to google with because there are many people in this world that can't spell another word and use mine instead.

    99% of people Google themselves.

    1% lie.

    Seriously for a second - everybody Googles their own name. It's how Google is starting to figure out who you are. I read an article about the information Google is collecting on each and every one of us. Google has determined folks Google themselves a lot.
