How to communicate if another person has the same name as me (namesake)?
Homonyms are a common case on the internet. If you communicate on your real name, and you produce content regularly, this is not a huge concern. After a while, your content will be well indexed by Google and differentiated from the other person who has the same name. We recommend that you always communicate with your real name if it is possible: it is usually the best solution.
If you do not want the other person's content to be associated with your work or your name, you can consider several actions:
- Negotiate with the other person so that they do not use this name
- Submit your name as a trademark and defend unauthorized use
- Use another artist name
If you choose to use another artist name, be sure to search to make sure that name is unique, and not already used!
Can I change Google's results so that the contents of my namesakes are not displayed?
No, it's not possible to edit Google data.
If I change my name, can I edit the Google results that quote my old name?
No, you can only edit the content, and then Google updates them on its search results. The changes will be taken into account by google after a few days or weeks.
