    Unfortunately I share my name with 2 Footballers, A photographer, an Ice Hockey player, A Jazz FM DJ, and several American doctors, so this never works for me

  • I only look up my name every so often but did it last month & found a £100 F&F gift voucher on a website that they hadn't emailed me about! It turned out that they had tried to contact me through Facebook & I hadn't seen the message as it was in my "others" message box which I forgot existed! So check your "others" box in the messaging on FB too!
  • Congratulations on the lovely win!

    Congrats :D

    I share my name with a few amateur sports people, so typing in my name + competition = lots of races being won and gymkhana results :(

    could be worse,
    I share politicians, American football stars and a semi famous actor.
    almost impossible!
    Insert smart witty comment here
  • Congrats! Well done.

    Just tried mine and hubby's names. I share mine with an author and well... hubby has a common name... ha haa!

    You can also use social searcher but you have to create a free account and then edit the settings on the left side of the screen. If you search for just on facebook, just in the UK and only search for status updates then it is alot easier to find posts about yourself
