This is the first entry on google for my name "naomik"......very interesting if anyone wants to take a look. It's my after "surgery look" !!!!!!!! //www.naomik.com
my website comes up - but so does another that is using the same name! My domain is shutterpugphotography.com - the other person is using shutterpugphoto.com. When I go to her page, she is also calling herself Shutterpug Photography. How can I find out who had the name first, and if it's me can I get her to have to choose a new name?

I don't think you can unless you're both in the same country. But then you would have to have had registered your name officially, as a company "Shutter Pug Photography Inc." or whatever... or else I don't think there's much recourse for you.
...then again I'm no lawyer so you can double check!

Looks like the other site is in Florida and Linda is in Alaska. If Linda has registered "Shutterpug Photography" as a DBA she should be able to get the other site to stop using it as they couldn't have possibly registered it themselves. The name also should be distinct enough to get trademark protection. Now if it was named Linda Photography and that was also being used she probably wouldn't have any recourse because the name is too common.
I believe this is because DPC uses subdomains for each user. www brings you to the main site whereas username.dpchallenge.com brings you to the subdomain that is set up for your account. When google "scans" the net, it picks up these associated domains with the www main site.
I've found google to be much better in finding personal sites, especially if you update the metadata.

the first thing was bdenny.com, which apparently is available...maybe I should take it? My profile is next. And I found another person named Brian Denny...
