My real name is uncommon enough, that doesn’t happen to me. Although I do see some pictures of or relating to my grandfather or great-grandfather, both of whom had the same first and last names as me (but different middle initials). ---

No hits for me, but damn - there are a lot of folks with my name! ---

I share a name with a famous sculptor. I gave up after 14 pages or so. ---

My married name is very unusual - only 6 other people in the world that we know of have it, and most of them are my in-laws. Nonetheless, the first two pages of images brought up are all of me and various members of my wedding party, thanks to the hotel we got married in using our wedding photos as advertising on their website. Plus there’s a few posters from shows I’ve directed. ---

There’s a popular artist who has my name; after about 20 pages I gave up. I even excluded her website. Even with the hometown added, and using my maiden name, I was unable to find an image related to me. ---

I am on the first page several times. ---

I’m all over. I’m a Canadian jazz singer, a Carolinian DJ, and and a Toowoomba-based songwriter who goes by the handle “Charles Curse”. I also play basketball for the Seneca Sting. I just wish there were pictures of me doing any of the things I actually remember doing. (I’m also a lot blacker than I remember.) ---

My name is very common, but when I added my hometown, I found a crowd picture of several tens of thousands of people at an event that I was at, on the second page. That was merely lucky, but technically I am in the pic. ---

Huh. My last name is the name of a city in Maryland. Go figger. Seems my first name is popular there, but then again, it’s popular everywhere. ---

Used an OR function for both the long and short forms of my name. A. Nothing on the first or third to fifth page, the second was blocked by Websense as a personal networking site (?!) B. Nothing from 158 results. ---

Very gratifying. Fourth image on the top row was a performer whose concert I wrote about for the newspaper where I work. Sixth picture was one I’d taken of an accident, second picture of second row was my mug shot from the column I write. Not bad at all.
