John Robb that isn’t me

As much as I may be unique my name certainly isn’t.   There are a few John Robb’s out there that you might stumble across.  When travelling on business in the pre-internet days I’d occassionally look up my name in the phone book.  Sometimes I’d find my name.  I knew it wasn’t me because I didn’t live in that city.

Like you, I’ve done a few google searches on my name and here are a few interesting John Robb’s that I’ve found.

John Robb - Blogger.  You’ll find this fellow at the top of any search for John Robb.  I’m assuming his blog is pretty popular.

John Robb – Musician.  I actually saw this fellow interviewed on a documentary about Rock n Roll music.  That was kind of weird.  His band is called Goldblade.

John Robb – Politician/Surgeon.  I had no idea that this Irish politician existed.  Thank you Wikipedia.

John Robb – Another Musician.  This is a lesser known musician named John Robb.  Again, I only found this guy through Wikipedia.

John Robb – Internet Consultant.  Well yes this is me but just in case you don’t see the links on the right here’s a link to my business site.

John Robb – Interior Designer.   Looking to redo your bar or nightclub you might want to give this John Robb a call.

John Robb – Crown Attorney.  There is an interesting story here.  This John Robb and I lived in the same town for a while.  In that this John Robb was a crown attorney I would occasionally get phone calls from the police looking to disucss some legal matter with me.  Unfortunatley I was not able to help them, I didn’t even have the phone number to THAT John Robb.

I have a tendancy to add the initial for my middle name as a way of differentiating myself from some of those other John Robb’s on the web.  That doesn’t always help.  Here are a few John A Robb’s that I’ve found.

John A Robb – attorney.  Lookng for a law firm in Pittsburgh?  This might be the guy you want :-)

John A Robb – hairdresser.  Need a haircut in Greensburg, PA?  I suggest you look up Johnny.

It can sometimes freak you out when you see your name in the obituaries.  Here’s a recent obituatuary for  a John A Robb that is most definatley not me!

Here is a question I have for these other John Robbs:  Do you ever get called John-Robb as if the name is like Billy-Bob?  I get it all the time!  If i’m not getting called John-Robb i’m getting called Rob.  That one drives my brother crazy.
