Do you google yourself? Have you found your name-double [googleganger?]

Come on! Admit it! You know you google yourself! If you haven't you should, and if you do, what did you find? Do you have a "googleganger"? That is, someone, or several people, with the same name as you? Long before there was a google, and maybe even before google's creator was born, I met my name-twin. It was the beginning of my sophomore year at college. We both ended up in the same suite, even though she was a freshman and I was a sophomore and we were in an upperclassman dorm. So she was there in error, but she didn't want to leave! Finally I got her to go to the freshman dorm, where she belonged, but that wasn't the last I heard of her. I almost didn't graduate because SHE was delinquent on her bill. And I once went to the infirmary and the nurse wouldn't give me the medicine I needed because it would worsen my "severe acne", and she said this while looking straight at my clear, blemishless face! Turns out she was holding the chart of the other woman who had my name. I once had a boss named Bob Weir -- not the member of the Grateful Dead, I also worked with a Gary Cooper [not the 40s film star], and I had a friend with the same name as a children's tv host we all grew up with. If your name is John Smith, you could probably have a convention of John Smiths, but if your name is Dweezil Zappa, you might not find anyone. How about you? What have you found?
