Everyone Has a Name

Oh the same subject of online presence as in the previous post, there's another consideration to think about - how unique is your name? If your name is something like "John Smith", anyone looking for you or information about you will have to pick through more than 4 million results.

As a result, there is an interesting trend developing over the years with parents who prepare for a birth of a child and wish to establish his/her prominence on the search pages - they are looking for names that are unique on Google, and even buy domains for their babies prior to birth. Here's a quote of the parents from the second article:
"One of the criteria was, if we liked the name, the domain had to be available"
How unique is your name?

  1. I Win! My name is world wide unique, plus the domain is free. But who would type my entire name in a URL?
