No not necessarily, though I wouldn't use a CV to apply to a job in the States or that is with a primarily US based organization. I just ignore the info when it comes up, it just catches me by surprise sometime.

I've actual lobbied to anonymize all applications as much as possible. Thankfully for some positions I have to review resumes for I'm unfamiliar with the cultural norms of what names are female and what are male. So in that way they are anonymized!
