I'd like to start populating my new public github page with personal projects in order to show it to potential employers, however, I noticed that the first thing coming up in a google search of said username is a foreign adult site.

The username in question is also the local-part of my .edu address, and it doesn't sound like anything at all (surname initial+first name).

Should I be concerned about this?

No, you shouldn't be overly concerned about this coincidence - anyone reading your resume should be able to figure out that the user name is genuinely made up from your initial and surname and shouldn't question this further.

If the question of googling this name occurs, you can simply laugh this off (and perhaps blame your name on your parents) and move on with the interview.

If you've yet to actually use Git, then it seems appropriate to think up a less contentious name and move forwards with that instead. Some people might use their first name and initial of the surname instead of the other way around.
