I googled my name and found 57 others with the same name... None of those 57 names were mine though.

It doesn't matter if you don't find yourself, as long as your search term (your name) matched. So as long as some one knows your name (and that you might Google yourself), there is a good chance you'd see it.

Similar in my case. Were most of the 57 just blogs, Facebook/Linkedin, company pages etc.? You could gain similar ranking by putting something out there. It is a good position to be in control. Maybe add a middle intial to be distinctive.
