Ha ! I love and have used the old W C Fields moniker, Mahatma Kane Jeeves.

The guys at Car Talk had a lovely one the other day, Upton Leftus.

Imagine the confusion you could create by calling yourself "Mocha-latte."

"I HAVE A SKINNY HAZELNUT EXTRA SHOT CAP FOR MOCHA LATTE! ... MOCHA LATTE!"

Oddly enough, I like coffee so I have never been in a starbucks. With no need for all the fancy stuff, I just make the coffee at home or make a quick stop at a convienence store.

The spouse says "Ishmael". (I wish I'd thought of that...)

But now I want to be known as The Beav.

I thought I was the only one who did that. Panera Bread also calls out your name. Most of the time I just use the name of the employee who is taking my order, but only if it's a female name. Otherwise, I just give them "Satan". It's pretty funny to hear them call Satan over the speaker and it gives the kitchen help a break from the monotony.

Love this post.

A source of great names can also be found in the old National Lampoon High School Yearbook Parody - especially to have them read out loud over a PA system.

And use current celebrity/politcal names -- like Oprah or K-Fed or Rumsfled.

Must admit that I do patronize Starbucks when I can't find an independent coffee house and when I do I order COFFEE - black, no sugar, which means that I don't have to give a name. However, since you have me thinking about it, the next time I'm asked in a similar circumstance, I plan to use "Occupant" since that's the way most of my mail is addressed. If they ask whether it's my first or last name, it's my last; my full name is Current Occupant.

I would be tempted to say "Travis McGee" or "Meyer," if only because those guys would have a long comment about how stores like Starbucks are killing/changing South Florida.

I've never had to give my name at Starbucks.

While I agree that its generally not the greatest coffee - their large expensive drinks are a bit diluted - the "short" cappucinos are ok (espresso steamed milk proportions are more correct - as is the price - though they don't advertise the "short" option or even list it on the menu board).

That said, I do like the gingerbread lattes.

Hehe, fake names at Starbucks...

I think i'll have to tell them 'Thorozog Coffee Demon' next time i'm there.

If'n I'm @ Starbucks I'll use Panerra and if'n I'm @ Panerra, it'll be Starbucks...

I always use funny names like cemore Butts
