No. Never. Be who you are and be extremely happy not to have to work for/with people that think it is OK to filter out candidates based on the name or gender.

Years ago, I was in the very unique situation of helping with the recruitment of my own boss. When interviewing a woman, the CTO asked if she was planning to have more kids. Her reaction was a very quick and assertive "Would you ask me the same question if I wasn't a woman?". I was embarrassed by the question and loved the answer. She was hired and we had a great working relationship for the years after.
I think it is very much OK to put people on the spot when similar questions come up.
