altivo

If you've never done it, you should try doing a Google search for your real name. Put it in quotes, include your middle initial if you use it that way. I'm always amazed. Of course, since I have a fairly common name, some things show up that aren't really me, but many of them are. Included are archived e-mails from as far back as the early 1990s, which is kinda scary when you think about it, and a couple of usenet postings from the same period. Nothing you do on the net is guaranteed private, or guaranteed to be forgotten.

Anyway, the idea of searching my LJ/Furry name had never occurred to me. "Altivo" is a not too rare name for a male horse in the Spanish language, so I'm not surprised that there are hits. I'm also aware that it is a brand name used for wrist watches, and the name of a restaurant somewhere. But other things pop up as well...
