Whenever I’m confronted with the demand to provide my name, I pick John or Jen, depending on my whim, since the majority of humanity appears incapable of spelling my name, let alone pronouncing it.
Onno
That’s my name, and no, I’m not related to Yoko and that’s not how you pronounce it, also, it’s not Oh-no.
Try: “On” followed by “No”. Then do it without a break. See. That wasn’t so hard.
So, forgive me for being more than slightly sceptical about the genuine nature of this coffee cup being actually adorned in this way by the person behind the counter at that coffee shop.
My wife has a very common name so she puts the order in under Bowie, as in David Bowie.
Apparently one of our local Starbucks has an employee with that spelling as their first name but instead of bow being pronounced like in bow and arrow it is bow like in bow wow.

My first name is Kim, but I’m a dude, so they will write anything other than Kim, because obviously there is no way a guy could have that name.
Your name is Kim?
Are you still an Ensign, or did you ever get promoted?
Always an ensign 😔

Hot damn this hard to explain in text.
You mean like the bow of a boat.
One employee with a head cold away from being called “unknown sample”.
