I share a name with and average skilled hockey player who played for long time on mediocre teams. We are also the same age.
Although my name is uncommon it is not rare. So many other lawyers, insurance sales, etc who have a larger online presence mask me very effectively.
It's enough that googling my name is a waste of time.
It also helps that I have a small footprint online with no social media accounts linked back to my real name.
