It depends on how unique you are.

If you have a name like John Smith, you can scrub your content and reliably hide behind all the other John Smiths out there.

If your firstname+lastname is unique on the planet, you have a uniqueness problem; there is no-one else to hide behind. You can also scrub the objectionable bits, but a good secondary strategy would also be to blast bland/irrelevant/dummy content everywhere such that anything important gets lost in the noise. You don’t want the few important bits to come up first in a search - make them work for it well past the 100th page of search results.
