I don't think that will be any good for me. My surname is Day and it brings up every webpage with Jean and day it drives me barmy.
Update: I've just tried it and I get everything with day on. Oh well it was worth a try.

What you want to do is to put your name in quotation marks because then google will filter the results to where those words appear together so for example if you google:

"Fred Smith" winner

this will bring up pages where the words Fred Smith appear together on a page and the word winner also appears but not necessarily next to the name :money:
