What's in a Name?

Who do you envision when you hear a name like Tanisha.... What about Becky? Lamar? Julio? Ryan? 
There have been reported cases of job-seekers being discriminated against based on their names.  Do you feel that someone with a more 'white' sounding name is more likely to be considered for a job over someone whose name sounds 'Asian' or  'Black'? Did this or would this come in to play when naming your child and what do you think  YOUR name says about you?
