What name can Starbucks definitely not get wrong?

I'm sick of being asked to spell my name in Starbucks. It's a normal name, probably not chosen very often nowadays but still common enough.

Today I decided to be Jo. 2 letters, no explanation required.

But no, they asked me if it was Joe with an E or Jo without an E. Does it even matter if they put an E on it or not?

I realise I could solve this problem by just not going to Starbucks but I like Starbucks. Help me find a name they can't possibly get wrong or have to ask me to spell. Any suggestions?

Take your own name stickers in and be done with it.

I always used to give a false name as mine is unusual and I’d end up standing there for aaaages trying to help them spell it even though I don’t give a stuff how they spell my name on a throwaway cup..
Incidentally, if you take your own travel mug in, they give you money off your drink and you don’t have to spell your name out and you’re helping the environment. Win, win.

Its publicity stunt isn't it. The more they get wrong the more they get posted about.

I call myself Katie in Starbucks, that’s not my name.

Star or Buck?

Our closest one doesn't ask for a name, they just call out the order so you could always call yourself Mocha or see how they spell Cappuccino.

My starbucks name (not my real name) is Penny. It was a joke with my brother once and it stuck.

They still managed to spell it wrong - Peny. Ffs.

I didn't read the whole op- and my name is Jo.

Then I read the OPGrin

I had a friend who always used to add an 'e' to the end of my name, and never seemed to think it was odd.

Anna or Mary.

Jesus also but you may not want that kind of attention.

Why ? Not that unusual a name in itself, depending on where you come from, and where you are ...
