3. My name -hockey
to exclude the player that shares my name makes it a lot easier, still, more than I would have thought.

4. name + hobby for me
My name and either povray or IRTC brings me right up. IRTC will bring me up under images also, though they are all a few years old and kind of, well, bad.

8. I'm virtually impossible to google. My name is a very common phrase in swedish.
It translates to something like "it is" or "they were" or "and that" or some very common grammar bridge like that.

10. Name, city and political affiliation...
From my membership in the local DFA. It's pretty far down though since there's some porn star with the same name.

buried in a douchebag near the willow tree in my grandmother's back yard.

14. Name, first page ...

At one time one could Google my name, and a brief bio was at the first link, but someone with my name has apparently become rather good at sports, so that's changed. The link that leads to me that was once the first link is like 10th now. The others that used to be there are farther down the list.

Not famous or anything, but my full name isn't all that common, and it's plastered all over certain groups.

16. I'm not famous...
If you put my name and the town I live in, my address and phone number come up.

Otherwise, I am buried deep within web pages not visible to Google.

18. Don't know how to respond...two sports figures with my name always come up
I guess that's a good thing! I don't want to read what someone might be posting about me on the internets. I haven't googled myself in at least a year.

23. Nothing at all
About a year ago, the only time my name came up was as one of many winners of a lipstick in a draw from a few years prior.

I never did get the damn lipstick! :-(
