google image your name > General Discussion

go to google images and put your real name in quotes in the search box

now, tell me if the results make any sense to you!

I did it for my name, and only 2 of the hundreds of results had anything do do with me.

no, you don't have to post any images or tell us your name, just curious about your results being relative or not

as a check, I tried Bing Image search and the results were all relevant.

Bing found my facebook profile pic, that was it.

Most of the pictures of me on the internet don't have my name attached to them. It's usually something like, " Look at this retard!" or "Epic Fail!"

I'm basically no where to be found on Google.

Google gives an actor who did silent movies.

Bing has nothing at all.

That's a good thing, right?

No pics of me but I do get a bunch of hits from Midway. I wrote a review for a part and now every part they sell for that gun shows up under the search of my name.

I'm non-existent too.

Not even my facebook picture. Both google and bing.

ETA: Bing actually gave less results than google, and results from both were either non relevant, or with people who also have my name. I got even less results when I added my middle name.

So, HA! They haven't gotten me yet.

One of the best kinds of anonymity is when you have the same name as someone famous. I've never actually tried sifting through the results to see where I fall, but that's because I tried before and gave up after about 40 pages.

Google had nothing relevant. Bing's first one was my Facebook pic, the rest were unrelated.

I have the unfortunate circumstance as sharing the same name as a pedophile who was suppose to submit his homework on a CD, but instead turned in a CD full of kiddie porn. So his name, which is the same as mine, is ALL over the internet.

Your search - "###### #######" - did not match any documents.

Suggestions:

Make sure all words are spelled correctly.

Try different keywords.

Try more general keywords.

First pic was me with a pink AR. Second pic was my business's logo. Third pic was me from behind at a field trial with the sun reflecting off my braided hair (I love that picture). After that some gravestone pictures of someone with the same last name as me (looks like someone was looking for ancestors).

ETA: I do have a fairly common first name though.

Microsoft Bing is banned at my office, but Google didn't turn anything relevant up. Past page 2, they used a different name (ended with an E instead of an A) so it's definitely not me. Since I got married, I have a very common last name

Google: Just comes back with my Facebook pic.

Bing: A bunch of completely unrelated photos.

google came up w/ two results, both from classmates.com of a guy who has my exact first and last name. i knew he was out there, a friend emailed me a link to a wedding announcement in a newspaper, where the guy w/ my name was getting married. all my friend said in the email was, "thought you were already married, lol". turns out the guy w/ my name is a distant relative. oddly, his dad shares the same name as my dad - now i know what my dad was doing on all of those business trips.

bings got nothin'.

Nothing that has anything to do with me. And that is just fine.

If you look at my old address on Google street view, I'm standing in the front yard, though.

You searched your screen name, not your real name. Unless your real name is BUCC_Guy.

Mine just comes back with a lot of pics of a semi-famous person with the same name as me.
