Oh. My. Lord.

I was planning on changing my name once I got married, so I was googling it to see who else has my (new) name, and there's an erotica author with that name. 

FI found it hilarious.

That is kind of funny (I think anyway). Maybe its an omen to your married sex life?? If she was a successful erotica author... Lol. Just throwing out an idea.

Is erotica bad or something?

People who might get their panties in a twist for some reason over it (Because really, they've never heard of multiple people have the same name?) probably will never make the connection, because they're too uptight over erotica to actually have read it.

People who would know wouldn't care, because they don't have sticks up their butts.

Also, most erotica authors don't write under their actual names, so this means that most likely somebody deliberately picked out this name to write under because it sounded awesome. Kudos on the future awesome name!

How scandalous. You will have to go live in a hut in the woods and be shunned from society.

I didn't see the problem with her post until the GIF began working (the still shot was just Marilyn looking a little shocked). 

I personally find it hilarious. It'll be an interesting conversation starter, anyway. Just tell people when they Google you that you're not a writer :P

I googled my married name.

My maiden name I am a psychotherapist and photographer and a "divorce strategist" (whatever that is), oh, and an actress.

My married name? Playboy bunny.

I'm kind of excited.

My name is used by a novelist in CA who is more than a little "graphic" in her erotic novels. I never knew this woman existed until my Dad went to see my sister shortly after the birth of my first niece (his first grandchild). Dad was in a store, saw a book where the author's name was the same as mine. He grabbed it on a whim, bought it without looking at it, and walked out.

Fast forward a week later when he gets home. I am 18, about to graduate high school and go off to college. My VERY Irish Catholic conservative Daddy gives me this book and tells me he hopes I will enjoy it. I read about 10 pages in when I realized what it was. Mom comes into my room, and starts laughing when I tell her what it is. We waited till he asked me outright if I liked it. He went ICE WHITE (and we are very, very pale naturally) and demanded the book back. I don't know what he did with it, but Mom was falling out of her chair.

Recently, at post rehersal dinner after party, Brother was talking about this fugly clock Dad got him once. I won that discussion by saying "At least he never bought you softcore porn."

I've learned to live with this "distinction," but when they did the background check on me for my current job, I did inform them that there was another individual by my name who wrote "romance" novels and to be aware of the difference if they googled my name. It's a heck of a convo starter!

I think it's hilarious. I married into the name of a candy and it makes me so happy. I just say 'My last name is X, like the candy.'

A track and field runner from Ohio who is slightly younger than me is the only other person I've ever come across with my maiden name. My married name is a character on The Sarah Connor Chronicles that is played by Summer Glau (aw yiss) and a bunch of other people -- it's much more common than my maiden name.

teacherjodee

I think a few other people have my maiden name but I'm pretty sure I'll be the only person with my maiden name. Marrying into a unique Italian name lol

arrippa

There is a cookbok author will my full maiden name and a Irish graphic artist with my full married name. Well, there is her and someone who was convicted for murder and sentenced to 19 years in prison with my married name too. I have always hated my common first name. Somtimes I wish I was a named Blue Ivy or Apple or even North.

I share my maiden name with a chick in Wisconsin who played softball in high school and is now an investment analyst at a Wisconsin company. Bahahaha, obviously not me.

I googled my future married name and came up with a bunch of blog posts and books on Amazon. Nothing too exciting.

harper0813

Someone with my same unmarried name is REALLY into Yo Gabba Gabba, according to Google.

My married name is unique, I think. Or if anyone else does have it, they're all recluses.

southernbelle0915

The only people with my last name are related to me and when I google what my married name would be (not changing my last name) I only get an obituary.  Maaaannn...

TKzilla

I googled my married name. Apparently I'm black.

Jessa617

This could actually be fun... Googling my maiden name I come up as a designer/illustrator/artist. Me as a married woman is, nonexistant. Ok, this game isn't fun anymore!

keochan

I'm the only me with both my maiden name and soon to be married name. One of the perks of going from one unique last name to another

Hmm apparently my maiden name is a college basketball player with bleached blonde hair and terrible roots, as well as a random slutty teenager.

No one has my married name, which makes sense, because no one else would pair my extremely Italian first name with FI's harsh-sounding German last name.  Oh well!

It's just a name, and personally I'd think it was pretty funny if I got to share a name with an erotic author or stripper or something!

wittykitty14

Well, I apparently used to be the only me in the world, according to google.  Now there's some other random person who beat some small-town gymnastics record.  I'm still the only me on facebook though, and my youtube video still comes up first in the search!  Woot.

And damnit, when I get married there's some teenage thing with the same name who's all over fb, twitter, insta-whatever, myspace, google images, and all that jazz.  Great.

Do our posts no longer go gold after 5 loves?  That's disappointing. I was using that to solace myself that I may never actually get a unicorn with my love points.

I'm glad you noticed that too!  I loved the satisfaction of seeing a post of mine go gold, or being the 5th love to do that for someone else.  Seeing my own loves get up to 5 isn't NEARLY as cool without the gold!  Damnit, I try very hard to say cool things just for the distinction.

I know, it's sad. Stop taking away the few good things about the new TK dammit!

You and me both. I have one of the most traditional American black last names there is. Which also is awesome because it means I'm anonymous via sharing that same name with like, 6 billion people.

me too Pele, except I'm latin.  I married into a pretty common latin last name. My first and middle name is Christina Marie.  insert latin last name after that, I am 1 of 6 million people with that full name.   that's the only thing I miss about my old last name. There were only a handful.
