    @Honeybee & @mrs.wagon: Oh yes, I love that episode! "I signed him up for Spanish People magazine & addressed it to Swarlos"

    I use my regular name for stuff, but DH always uses different names for food/drink orders. He says his name is so common that someone else with that same name might accidently take our order. He uses names like Walter or Theodore. I don't know why he likes old-man sounding names!

    This thread came to mind just now when I was at Starbucks! The guy behind me told the barista his name was Yaroslavl? I was like, "dude, you need a Mexican Starbucks name!" the barista made him write it on the cup himself.

    It depends on my mood, but usually I'll just say Jane

    I just use my real name, Jennifer ... but every once in a while when it is really busy, a few of us end up reaching for the same coffee! Darn common name!

    Maybe I'll try a fake name. They don't even ask what's your name at our Starbucks. They just say, what name do you want on your cup? (Much more accurate.) I think I'll go with a letter name. I can see it now. What name on the cup? O. Huh? O. Oh, OK. No, just O.

    I don't like coffee but when I get other drinks when I go to see my brother he writes "Cameron's sister" on it.

    On a similar note DH and I were going out to eat and they asked for his first name. It went like this:

    -"Ben."
    -"Bin?"
    -"Ben."
    -"Den?"
    -"Ben."
    -"Okay."

    -"Din party of two!"

    I always just use my name. It isn't anything difficult or different...not too exciting I guess!

    @mandb36: That person seriously couldn't get the name Ben? That's silly

    I usually just give my real name. Maybe I should make up a fun fake name though...

    @Honeybee: Didn't know you used that name so much! ;p

    I give my real first name, it's short and easy. I had a friend once that have a fake name, then paid with his debit card and they saw the name and have him a hard time about being who he said he was haha.

    I always give them my real name and I have to spell it for them. I always want to give them an easier name but I'm afraid I'd be that person who forgot their fake name.

    It never occured to me to use a fake name, thought my name is super easy, so maybe that's why
