Hello:
I googled and yahoo myself today and several websites came up with my
name. Is there a way for me to stop this from happening and protect
my privacy?

You'd probably have to contact each site and request they take your name
down. Some wouldn't without a fight. Is it simply your name they are listing
?
Is there any other information which is either factually incorrect, or gives
personal details such as address etc ?
I put together a list of sites in the UK useful for checking your publoic
domain information at http://www.richdavies.com/people.htm .
If your name is already well in the public domain, ie you have celebrity
status, people may run searches on your name. If not, even with the name
being out there, it's unlikely many, if any, will search for it.
You could set up a Google alert for your name, then you'd be notified by
email everytime Google found a new page with your name in the text.

Thing is, there is the wayback machine to consider.
Then again, a nane is not copyrightable. Anyone can be called
Reapianish. Who is to say it is *that* Reapianish ?

Mentioning your name is not, in itself, an invasion of your privacy - in
most countries, at least.
In practice, it all depends who is saying what about you, and whether it's
true or not.
For example, anyone could start a wikipedia page on anyone, and so long as
the facts thy used were in the public domain, and honest, and not used to
denigrate you, then I very much doubt any judge in the world would grant you
a court order to stop it.
You have some rights to privacy, others have some rights to free speech.
Check each individual occurrence, and start challenging the ones where you
have a good cahnce of winning, first.
but, short of moving to China or Burma, I don't fancy your chances.
