I'm a crater??!?!

So i was just randomly typing my name in the internet right.
And i just typed "what is a stefan" just to see if i can find my blog on the internet.
And here's what i found.......Sheesh.......i dunno how i feel about this....

Wikipedia.com

Stefan (crater)
"Stefan is a lunar crater on the far side of the Moon, just beyond the northwestern limb. Attached to the western rim is the slightly smaller Wegener crater, and located close to the eastern rim is Rynin crater."
