I'd prefer my name to be unsearchable. I'd be thanking the famous Tom Holland.

This guy is actually a public figure himself, though. It's rather funny because his podcast is huge and he is pretty famous in his own right, but even if he used his full given name, Thomas, he'd have the exact same problem lol

You could change your name to Tom Holland and hide in his (or their, counting the historian) shadow(s).

I'm under two layers of well known but not famous people owing to a common for the origin country last name and less common first name. (Think something like Jimmy Smith.). It is rather nice to be that rough to google or FB lookup.

"You could just go by Thomas..."
"Why should I change? He's the one who sucks."

Does Google even allow for boolean searches anymore?

Yet not one tear shed for the Dutch.
