For some reason that drives me crazy, so lately I've been telling them that I am Charlotte. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fake-name#post-271297 Sun, 26 Aug 2012 11:42:16 +0000 DigAPony 271297@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Cowgirl: I clicked into this thread just to see if someone would say Swarley. Excellent! (Off-topic, my fave from that episode is Swarls Barkley.) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fake-name#post-271183 Sun, 26 Aug 2012 08:39:45 +0000 mrs. bird 271183@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Cowgirl: I looooooove how I met your mother!! Haha, awesome!</p> <p>My alter ego is Agnes. Used primarily as a bowling name (which happens like once a year, but my name stays the same!), but I've used it elsewhere :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fake-name#post-271170 Sun, 26 Aug 2012 07:44:51 +0000 emcoco 271170@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>One night my husband was in a terrible mood (all thanks to our still not quite done bathroom remodel) and he went to Penn Station to pick up some dinner. Apparently at places like that he says his name is Frankie (it's not - his real name is simple but for some reason people have difficulty with it).</p> <p>Anyway the order-taker at Penn Station either didn't hear him correctly or just picked up on his bad mood and wanted to point it out, because instead of writing Frankie, he wrote "Cranky". This will stay on our bulletin board forever.... I love it. ha! </p> [attach=2405/12/m9d4qs.600x479.IMG_3327.JPG] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fake-name#post-271167 Sun, 26 Aug 2012 07:32:02 +0000 Rubies 271167@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Starbucks always gets my name wrong. But whatever, I don't care. HOWEVER, when a random asks me what my name is, I always say "Karen" - I don't know why! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fake-name#post-271151 Sun, 26 Aug 2012 05:46:57 +0000 autumnlove 271151@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My real name is easy enough! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fake-name#post-271148 Sun, 26 Aug 2012 04:47:25 +0000 coruscations 271148@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@NYCaliMama: I like that, I think I might do that after my daughter is born!</p> <p>My name is not unusual but it's old-fashioned and not super common. When I was single I used to travel by myself a lot, and sometimes I felt paranoid giving my name at restaurants and stuff. I always used Beth which is my mother's nickname. It felt easier than using a completely made up name because I am a terrible liar. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fake-name#post-271133 Sun, 26 Aug 2012 01:30:50 +0000 SAHM0811 271133@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When I'm with my DD, I give her name...

No, and they don't ever butcher my name, but they almost always spell it wrong. It's Christina, which I think is a pretty standard spelling. Sometimes they even write Xtina lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fake-name#post-269834 Fri, 24 Aug 2012 13:01:24 +0000 tororojo 269834@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a friend with a really long last name that always gives the same fake short one to valets...it's just easier!</p> <p>Whenever I order food or have to give a name to the hostess, I use the name of the person I'm with--mine is short and simple, but people butcher it anyway. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fake-name#post-269789 Fri, 24 Aug 2012 12:36:26 +0000 Mrs. Pen 269789@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lemondrop: bahaha I love it.</p> <p>did you ever see the Wizards of Waverly Place episode where Selena Gomez says her name is Oprah each time she orders?! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fake-name#post-269784 Fri, 24 Aug 2012 12:34:29 +0000 Honeybee 269784@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bluestriped bee: I didn't know that wasn't your given name!
