So, you must be a dog! ("On the Internet, nobody knows you're a dog").

Jokes aside, I wonder if people from countries with 2+ names and 2+ last names get different results. In my case, I get a lot of false positives because there's apparently a lot of people with same first name and first last name. Luckily, none of them were me.

I have four names in total, two first and two last, mostly just use one first + one lastname publicly, and this tool only correctly infers correctly when using that specific combination (which also happens to be globally unique, as far as I know), any other combination seems to make the thing hallucinate strongly.
