I have the opposite problem.  A famous romance author has the same  
name as myself, so I am lost in the noise.  I chose not to try to  
"brand" myself by getting a name-based domain, as it felt like it  
would be a never-ending SEO battle to get on page 1.

I haven't googled myself lately to see what shows up on page 2 and  
later, but probably should.
