What is a "caucasian sounding name"? Do Zurab, Zahar, Zivadin, Zora or Artem sound like caucasian male names to you?

Yea, I am fairly certain I'm bastardizing the use of the word "caucasian" here. What I mean is that people with the name "Cory Klein" on their SO profile likely get treated differently than "Mohammud Bin Salmen" or "Lacey Richards".
