I was named after a porn star.
Okay, not named after so much as my parents, in their alliterative glee, gave me a name which also happens to be that of a fairly prolific and (in certain circles) well-known adult entertainment diva.
I saw my name in lights on the wrong side of Dallas at age 17. I thought it was funny.
I applied for this job and my new employer googled my name only to find porn sites. I still thought it was funny.
I got a phone call from a rather famous architect/educator at work and he immediately asked if I was the HH. I thought it was awkward.
“Good afternoon, this is H.”
“(laughter) What’s your last name?”
“H.”
“Certainly not the same HH who dated Michael Jordan.”
“I think I’d remember that. Who is this?”
“Famous Architect. Yes, I do believe she was a girlfriend of Magic Johnson’s wife…..”
“I’m not going to ask how you know so much about her…”
So, google away my friends… but not at work. I mean, the other HH is not hot enough to risk losing your job.
Ah, well, but you are hot enough?
Besides, I always liked Holly Hunter.
I can’t be googled either, but not due to porn. I was named after an actress who is moderately famous (at least appeared in a couple big name movies- Streetcar named Desire, Planet of the Apes the originial, etc), so try to google me and you get all her without some extra info about me. Good for the anonymonity on the web though. We have the same last name miss H
I had the same problem, back during the Clarence Thomas/Anita Hill thing, when Long Dong Silver entered the public consciousness.
Oh that’s funny because I actually am a porn star. Perhaps you’ve seen “Candy Stripers” that was my debut movie.
Heh.
um I’m kidding.
I’m #19 on google for my last name. Of course, if you add my first name to the mix, that changes somewhat…
This is really funny that you mention this now. I was so going to ask you if it’s been hard for you having the same name as a porn star, and I thought you’d think I was a freakshow. So I didn’t ask. But I received my answer anyway!!
What’s a porn star? What’s prolific? {I shoulda finished college.}
that is actually an awesome anonymity feature. i’m jealous. my name is unique enough that if you google it, ooops it’s there. of course, nothing incriminating or even remotely juicy, to the disappointment of the googler…
if you google me(which even sounds funny) nothing…life just is not fair!
So you’re saying that the next time I need some privacy, I should change my name to Jenna Jameson?
At least she’s a really great looking porn star. (Yes, I googled.) Not a bad namesake to have, really.
But what made me laugh was that on her “official” page, there’s a song link, and the song has something to do with “God.” Never really thought I’d see a photo for a bondage website on the same page as the word “God.” Not that there’s anything wrong with….. ah you get it.
Oh, and my husband’s last name is Wells, and when he first went into a new group in the military, they randomly assigned him the call sign “Tori.” After a name you shouldn’t google at work, either. So now, when people ask him “What does your call sign stand for” he just plays dumb. “I dunno.” I always tell people it’s cause he sided with the British in the Revolution. (Well. It’s an option.)
I’m up to 21 for dahl – not bad (or not good, depending on how you look at it since that is a nickname of mine) considering its also the name of a very famous writer.
Okay, I just don’t know too many porn stars.
When I google my name, my husband’s sites come up, when I google my nickname, it’s #4.
When you google me, all you get is me. I think I’m the only me out there.
I share the same name as the guy who created MT-Blacklist (http://www.jayallen.org/). Which, in the Internet/blogging world, is the next best thing to being a porn star.
See. This is an easy puzzle to crack, if you are willing to 1.Totally breech the girls privacy and 2. Admit you know a lot about porn.
I found out recently that I share a first and last name with a porn star (not so well known, I think – the guys here in the office haven’t heard of her or they’re lying because I’m a girl and that’s an entirely different issue), as well! We should start a club….
