OK, how many people search on my user name that I became a Google suggestion?

If you search "incredibill" it suggests:

"incredibill blog"
"incredibill email"
"incredibill blogspot" and
"incredibill twitter"

Pretty scary I get that many searches.

Since I'm a good member and didn't use my marketing name as my WW nick, search not so scary.

I mean seriously, how many queries and what could be that interesting?

Search my name and I'm a major food group. For Centuries. :) (and way more than the OP)

And a bit of extraterrestrial fun, too. (See ERB)

My generic nic is more entertaining, however, the related suggestions always make me smile.

Dunno- how many unpaid bills do you have? Given your screen name... ;)

good going Bill! It looks like a company is now riding off the back of your fame, registered in 2010...

Now some smartie is going to add their own suggests... "incredbill genius", "incredibill robots", id have expected "incredibill webmasterworld" to be one that appears early-doors though.

it's not personalized, just type "incredibill" and hit the space, you get a list.

I almost fell off my chair.

Compare that to netmeg which Google suggests as nutmeg ;)

graemep plus the next letter of my surname brings up a list of names that includes my full name.

Typing my full name only gets one other suggestion, but I would not expect many people to search for me by name.

Someone's been working fast. I now get "random rants" and, hm, "incrediballs".

But only in basic google. Advanced Search has nothing to say on the subject whatsoever.

Your name may be unique enough that Google is assigning what IT believes is related based on what it's found online when your name was written. It might not be due(solely) to actual searches.
