Fun With Google . . .

. . . interesting project for perusing google images (with safe search off). I bet a dissertation is hiding in these results somewhere . . .

Take any traditionally female name in an Indo-European tongue, and I can almost guarantee that there will be a picture of a near naked (or more explicit) woman within the first 21 results. You have to pick real 'grandma' names to avoid the jubblies on the first page of hits (Mildred and Gertrude are names that turn up no nudity on the first page of hits). Also, slavic female names are likely to turn up nothing but explicit images. Mary seems to be an odd exception. While the first hit is unclothed, it's a nude painting of Mary Magdelene, rather than a naked pic of some random young woman (plus lots of Mary-Kate in the first few pages of hits for 'Mary'). Every Japanese woman's name also turns up almost nothing but cheesecake to full on porn.

Doesn't seem to work the same way with most male names (except the names Randy and Peter).

Cue Ave Q song . . .
