Yes, of course. Neither name nor surname are anything special, so the combination is not rare at all. Last time I tried to google myself, I got links to my articles here, or stuff I wrote on fox wiki, or on foxite, or the few places this was quoted - but that's when I used the anglicized spelling. When I googled for Dragan Nedeljković, I got a dozen other people.

My deskmate in high school was Dragan Nedeljkov :). The confusion was a daily occurrence, even though we sport completely different looks.

On fb I only staked my claim, i.e. took up an username, just so it can't be used by anyone else, but never wrote a single byte there. Same for twitter.
