Actually, if your name is not on your own website, you can hardly prevent it. The only way out is if you use a nickname on the Internet. If the website is yours, you can use the <meta name="robots" content="noindex,nofollow"/> command to exclude the page from searches.

On the Internet, you are lucky if you have a common name, nobody will know which John Black or Wendy Smiths you are. Otherwise you can try to "bury" information about you by adding neutral pages about you.
