Google Image NAME Search

Okay, here is the Google Image NAME Search game.

The rules of this game are simple. Use the Google Image search utility to find names that yield consistent results, such as nerdy, redneck, and extremely hot, or uglyish. No, this is not a particularly nice game, and it plays into stereotypes of self-image. But, you could also look at it as an interesting sociological study. Oh, a variant of this game is to find VERY INCONSISTENT images that range from ugly to hot. Also, a side-game is to find common names for pets. (Note to society: Pets should be given names like Rex, Wishbone, and Spot, not Samantha.)

You need to select SAFE MODE ON before playing this game. I am not responsible for nekkidly results, otherwise.

Example:
At first, you might think that a name like Alessandra is FAR too hot for reality. Well, just notice that many of the photos are similar. There is a model named Alessandra Ambrosio that will skew these results. (Too many pictures because she is popular.) So, use the minus switch (-ambrosio) as a search modifier to reveal that even all the normal Alessandra's are still above average.

Mark emailed me today with a new hot name, Verena.

This morning I just heard of an 37-year-old Arkansas women who gave birth to her 15th child. Father's name was JimBob. It is hard to find a JimBob that does not look like a redneck. I know that this is from a joke page, though:
