How well does your name Google? Who are you up against? (Celebrities, etc.)

Guess I am pretty lucky. My name returns only results on me personally, and only a few. When I Google "linuxchic", I only find a few results that belong to someone using "linuxchic" that isn't me. When I Google "techbarbie" I get pretty much all my posts from Vox as results. I guess that means that I own me. ;)
What's in a screen/user name? Tell us how you found yours.

My name here on Vox is TechBarbie but I am usually known on the net as Linuxchic.
Techbarbie: Came about as a joke after I mentioned to some friends that I wanted to break the geek appearance stereotypes with a new screen/username. I am by no means a Barbie or all that fabulous but I do like to be fashionable and am a fan of technology so TechBarbie was born. A spoof gone farther than planned I guess.
Linuxchic: I have had this for years and years and years. What can I say, I love linux. It was one of my first email addresses and I thought chick spelled like "chic" was cute. I have never been able to snag the .com for my name, but I do have the .net and used to have the .org for a family site but let that go because I just didn't have time to update the family. =)
There you have it, two out of three. Yes, three. The third is a surprise waiting to be born at a new site coming soon to a domain near you. (How do I find time for all my "little" projects?)
Show us a happy memory.

My little hacker, the new and improved upon Linuxchic 1.0 (known on Vox as techbarbie) ;)
Makes me look monstrous during my smoke break at work. Ew.
