If you were to Google my name Linkedin appears second to wretched Facebook, but I think I have a limited setup on Facebook. Other than that I share my uncommon name with another bloke who is also in IT. To dig dirt out on me you would have to look a bit deeper and anybody I'd want to work for would understand that people treat their social and work life seperately and would only be concerned if it appeared I didn't make a distinction.
