Myrtle  
Amazingly porn free.

I was checking with some old lady names, and things were seen, that cannot be unseen…

The one and only Gertrude I have known in real life bears a remarkable resemblence to the photo in your link.

I’m gunna guess ‘Fanny’?

My very common male first name doesn’t bring up any porn, at least for the first five pages. Mostly middle aged men in suits. It’s a very common name.

Add in my also very common last name, and a nudie pic comes up halfway down the first page. (No, it’s not me.)

I’m quite happy to report that my (old fashioned, unusual spelling) first name yields no porn whatsoever. However, my last name yields pics of my own mother\*. Now that’s distubing.  
\*clothed, thankyouverymuch.

I can imagine what hits a some typical Male names like ‘Peter’ "Dick’ and ‘Rod’ might have.

Rod gets a lot of penii, and a certain English rocker known to enjoy the company of blondes.

My god, they’ve even corrupted “mommy”

Don’t look. Really, my eyes are bleeding.

We must have different Googles I tried over and over and drilled down several pages and could not find that picture…in the name of scientific research of course, all I got were pages and pages of motorcycle pics.

Ms. Boyle is no doubt throwing the numbers off a bit.

Hmmm…

Tried _ **Tina** _, and then _ **Sara** _. (Not _ **Sarah** _ so far.)

Taking a risk, I decided to go for the universal female name of _VULVA_.

Interestingly, enough, the content was pretty much the same when I moved the “Safe” up to moderate and then to maximum safe status.

I think children need more protection from basic biology.

_ **- "Jack"** _

I typed in my name… “Katlyn” which has an unusual spelling… or so i thought…

I think he means Millie rather than Mille. Mille _does_ get some pics from a sports-clothing manufacturer whose ads feature men in _very_ tight bike shorts…

The vagaries of Google’s Image Search are an endless source of amusement/ puzzlement/ horror. Being the perv that I am, I often have the opposite problem: a search for p0rn turns up tons of non-p0rn things. For example, it was astonishing to see how many links to ornithology the word “tits” produced. Another problem was finding pictures with African-American women as the subject. “Black” plus almost any other qualifier linked to thousands of pictures of white women with Black male partners, white women wearing Black hose or corsets, etc. I finally figured out that the p0rn word was “Ebony”.
