Ask HN: How to deal with female name on resume?

I'm a female working in the finance/tech industry. Applying to companies, I'm worried that the gendered name on my resume might be poisoning employers' perception of me: http://whatwouldkingleonidasdo.tumblr.com/post/54989171152/how-i-discovered-gender-discrimination.

Do you believe that this kind of name-based bias is strong enough that I should somehow change my resume to show something other than my name? Also, I'm working with a recruiter, should I tell him my concern?
