So it's based on your name prejudice. period.

All of the candidates were supposed to have been screened by the H.R. department. Most of those I got rid of had padded resumes. Most of them lied about certifications or degrees. I know they were lying because when I put them in front of real computers, printers, etc. they stood there with a blank look on their faces. Many couldn't figure out how to answer the phone. When I hired them, I told them they had a maximum of 3 days to show me they could hit the ground running. I didn't lie to any of them.
Would you accept this excuse from a potential employee?

unless you were applying to work for me and I think the chances of that are pretty slim.
Oh so do I, hon, so do I.

I will tell you this, if your name was actually "monster", you wouldn't get hired.
note to self: have another kid (need different babypapa) and name it monster.

Do your employers ever see what you post here? I find it hard to believe they could support this crap. Especially the bit about rejecting resumes on the basis of first name not being racist. No wonder you were so touchy when i brought up your job.
