I use Mary because our baristas always get my name wrong.

I think you should use Swarley!

@Honeybee: You almost never see ol' Swarlz get that upset.

I JUST watched that episode the other day!!! I've been going thru the entire series on Netflix while pumping

I actually use Charlie as my fake name.

Ariel is my go-to fake name.

I sometimes use it with baristas, but mainly when gross guys try to hit on me and ask me my name.

I give them my actual name (it's very common and easy to spell).

In college I would tell creepsters at the bars that my name was Juliette.

ETA: The Juliette thing kinda backfired, though, because then they would ask if they could be my Romeo. So then I switched to Julie.

I give my eldest DD's name at coffee and smoothie places. She loves hearing her name called out!

I give my real name to baristas but never to hostesses at restaurants b/c I think they're more likely to screw it up. If I had to choose an alias, I would go with Regina Phalange.

I use my real name. The funny thing is multiple times I've gotten my coffee and my name is completely butchered. Is Jennifer really that complicated?

Flor. Trying to explain my real name in Mexico is a huge PITA. The baristas at my Starbucks are going to be confused if they ever take a good look at my credit card, which this proves they don't!

I give my real name, but this reminds me of trips to the dog park:

Random person: what's your dog's name?
Me: piper
RP: paper?
Me: no, piper.
RP: oh, pepper!
Me: no, PI-PER.
RP: hyper?? That's a hilarious name for a dog!

i give my real name. i'm not quick witted enough to come up with something else.

I use my real name, which is pretty common. Never had a problem until a few weeks ago when some biotch TOOK MY DRINK. She just swooped in and was gone by the time I could even process what happened. What. The. Hell.

@Mrs. Cowgirl: Note to self, never name my child Piper.

ETA, I think it's a really cute name!

@mrbee: Luckily, yes. But still!

I've never been asked my name at starbucks. I guess I dont go to busy places?

I use my shortened name...Mani instead of Emanuella.
My husband took someone's drink before...he just grabbed it thinking the lady called his name but he misheard. The guy it belonged to REFUSED to let it go. He kept going on and on about how people should "use their listening skills" and he was all mad that DH had touched his drink. DH had only grabbed it and then realized it wasn't his and put it riiiiiight back on the counter!

Always use Jennifer! My name is krn so It's just easier!

This made me think of this that I saw on Pinterest:
