What's your coffee name?

[Deleted]

I just use my name. I throw people off when I spell it though. They're used to it ending in -y or -ey.

[TrickyBob]

My name is too boring for people to screw up. I want a coffee name.

Did your avatar just blink at me?

No. It didn't blink. I think you're going crazy.

















just kidding. It blinks 2 or 3 times

I have never heard of a coffee name - is this like a Rusty Shackleford thing?

If your name is something someone misspells often or cannot pronounce, you give them a pseudonym instead.

I use Sarah. My name is impossible for people to spell/pronounce.

This bit me in the ass once when picking up takeout a couple months ago. Apparently, another Sarah called & placed an order. They ran my card w/her more $$ order, & had to refund the transaction. This is a random Mexican restaurant on a weeknight, and we were the only 2 orders. Weird coincidence.

Of course I totally blurted out, "Sarah isn't even my real name!" after it happened. The hostess gave me a total WTF look.

[MWOS]

my parents were kind enough to give me a pronounceable/spellable first name. but you should see what those fuckers gave me for a last name.

[hisno1girl]

I just say "Vee" because no one ever knows how to spell Veronica. It always ends up being Veroncia or Victoria or Monica.

ETA: I don't go to Starbucks, but that's the name I use at restaurants, etc., when I have to give a name.

[incognitotoday]

I've gone with many "easy" names like Jane, Kim, Julie, etc. 

[ralphlauren]

I just give my first name or if I do not want them to have it I will give them my middle name

My coffee name is Charlotte. I don't know why.. but it always has been since I was much younger. weird I know

[omeomi]

Nikki. I don't even know where it came from the first time I used it. But I've stuck with it. Much easier than people trying to figure out my real name.

[lightbulbsun]

I use a bunch but Jane most often.

[ElizabethBennet]

I use a shorter version of my full name. If I used my full name I'd have to spell it and it's too much of a pain to do that.

[JamaicanPineapple]

I've never heard of this. My name is Kristina, which always gets spelled Christina or Christine. Everyone calls me Tina so I just use that.

[rupertpenny]

I don't ever go to starbucks or places like that so if I have to give my name I am usually not alone, if we are putting down a name for a table at a restaurant or something like that I give my H's name, it's easier to spell and pronounce. My name isn't even difficult, it is Anna, but no one ever hears it right.

[morningmania]

I have never heard of this either.
Since I have a difficult name for people to understand, I should really use one. I HATE the short version of my name.

[Deleted]

My name is Melissa. Common and simple enough... except people always misspell is Malissa/Melisa/Mellissa etc etc etc. Wtf people? My parents were smart enough to name me with the CORRECT Greek spelling.

A few months ago the high as fuck barista at Starbucks spelled it Malisuh....are you fucking kidding me? How do you get an H in there?!

[gretchenindisguise]

I just give my shortened first name. It's misspelled, but oh well.

[circa1978]

Morgan, which is not my name. I use it for most orders, not just coffee.

[lilafowler]

Jen. My name is a PITA to pronounce and spell for the non-initiated and I'd rather just tell them I'm Jen.

[Deleted]

my bar name was lola. just for the hell of it. because i wondered if people would believe me.

 I just use Jane, it's my name! LOL!

[luckyval]

I have a pretty easy name, but H's is really unusual. I've never known him to use a pseudonym though. He seems to get a kick out of people stumbling over it

[karmasabiotch]

People can't say my real name correctly. I want a coffee name.

[papie]

Andrew. I only ever need to give a name for delivery/takeout/reservations, so I just give H's name.

This is me-if I say my name I usually get a "I'm sorry-whaaaa?". 

[open24hours]

I use Anne. I don't care if they spell it Ann. I think that Anne is a name that is pretty hard to fuck up.

Once I used my real name and what came out on the cup was Shooshan. I have no idea how that person went from my name to Shooshan.I mean the closest thing I can think of is Susanne and that is not my name.

[amberlyrose]

I use my middle name or last name, because they are very hard to fuck up.

Also, I HAAAAAAAATE when people call me Amber. Hate.
