Yes, there are people who often discriminate because of a person's name as it may give insight to ones heritage and the discriminator more than likely hates that race of people. Other reasons include people not taking someones name seriously or thinking they will act a certain way because of it.

For example, if it is a white man that has the last name "Fernandez", when people find this out, they know is likely of Hispanic descent and they may choose to discriminate because they have ill will towards his bloodline.

Another example is if a woman is named Candy, people may choose to discriminate and not take her seriously because of the frivolities associated with a name like that. Candy to them equals not very serious about anything and/or childlike.

Yet another example is if a black man is named Tyrone; people may choose to discriminate against him more than a black man named Eric. Many may see the name Tyrone and think he's more into criminal activity than a person like Eric who they'll think is more of a stand up citizen.
