No, I've never forgotten who I am... ๐Ÿ˜

But I've searched for my nickname, when I began receiving friendship request on Twitter and Facebook from farmers all over the world... and I discovered that SeCan is also the name of the largest Canadian company selling seeds. ๐Ÿ˜

Well I have the misfortune to share my name with a widely known author.. which means when i google it, all i GET is stuff about him..

also share it with a film producer of amongst others ' Jurassic Park, War of the Worlds and Avatar .. so disconcerting when you see your own name at the end of a film.. but ain't NO WAY I'm seeing anything about me from google...

Of course hasn't everyone but it comes up with my LinkedIn page and sometimes Flickr. Must mean I am boring or hidden away from the CIA etc.

I used to search my name on google periodically as it would bring up various articles to do with skydiving that I had participated in.

Then Pixar brought out anamated movie and the lead character has my exact name!

So now I don't bother as all it brings up is millions of references to the movie.

no, because like Anaverageman I share my name with a certain character from Coronation St. After 30+ years (it's my married name) of saying 'oh yes! haha! - I never realised!' 8 million times through gritted teeth, after introducing myself and having it pointed out, I know that that person is the only one who will come up!
