My name is extremely typical, both first and last, so while many things come up, none of them are me.
My husband comes up in the first three results, a Charidy campaign, LinkedIn, and one other website where he has a listing.

I am not on social media.
But if you search my name, there are over a dozen hits.
I written a few pieces that were published in frum magazines (some with my real name), and I have been recommended here on Ima for a service that I provide a few times.
There's a short news piece where someone wrote something and included my name.
There's a also a Mazel tov notice from a community website from when my dd got engaged to a boy from that community.

It's a green flag! When I was dating my mother gave me some names to look into. They were on Facebook and that was a red flag for me (this was 10 years ago). I immediately nixed one guy because I found a video of him skydiving with his friends and his language was very off putting. Unless you're a professional it's great to have no online presence.

When I was young,there would have been nothing on me. I was BY yeshivish with no internet.
I still am yeshivish but not super yeshivish and absolutely have internet .
So now if I Google my first name maiden name (which is my legal name) city, on the first page you can find me on voterrecord.com and mylife.com. there are a number of other people with the same name.
If I Google my first name married name (which is not my legal name, but I go by it in any nonlegal capacity) city, on the first page I am not found at all.you'll find others with the same name.
My names are common names, like Sarah Weiss and Sarah Gold.

I don't know whether this is the OP's concern, but possible concerns could be that he is currently using a name that is not his real name, for any of the following reasons:
- he is married
- he has a criminal record
- he has some sort of scandalous issues that would come up
- he had lied about his profession or other major aspects of his identity, such as having children, prior marriages, being a Xian missionary, or whatever
- something else bad

Under my nickname my engagement announcement shows up on simcha spot.
Under my legal name,donations show up from tzedaka campaigns, a school project that I don't like and I'm trying to take it down, as well as from an office I used to work at that I'm trying to take down, my wedding registery, and half my home phone number and address ( from before I got married) that I'm trying to take down.
Not so happy with it. Trying to deal with Google...

When I was dating 20 years ago I remember a guy saying "I googled you". I had no idea what he meant.
Times have changed.

Exactly this. Thanks for writing it out. Before I set him up I just wanted to know that he's normal and he says who he is as I don't know him well.
Interesting to see that it's about 50/50 online presence, and all the comments.

My name is super common. You can google me but none of the top results will be me.
ETA: I have LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, X (twitter)
