I recall whites with these names or names very similar. However, 95% of the time people in
this society with these names are not going to be white.
Regardless of what people think of these names, the issue of discrimination is a serious one. Whether it's discrimination by race or by a proxy for race (i.e. social class and names), it's tragic because people are making assumptions of you and influencing your life chances.
