-
and I make videos at Buzzfeed.
-
Now, I know what you're thinking.
-
That girl has a weird name.
-
She probably uses a fake name when she goes to Starbucks.
-
I don't.
-
But some of you know the drill.
-
You get in line,
-
about to order your favorite drink,
-
and you pull out your trusty fake name.

You know, the classics.
-
John, Carl, or my personal favorite,
-
Gertrude.
-
Today, we'll see what your favorite Buzzfeeders use
-
as their fake names when they go to Starbucks.

All to avoid social interaction.

Let's go!

What's your fake name?
-
- K.
-
- And what's your real name?
-
- Kuwilileni.
-
K because if I ever tried to say Kuwilileni,

they would just look at me with their mouth agape
-
like who?
-
What?
-
Where?
-
- My fake name is Horchata Jose.
-
My real name is Sergio.

-
- And what's your real name?
-
- Armand.
-
My real name is on my credit card,
-
and nobody has been like, hey!
-
This doesn't match.
-
- Well, you're now exposed, so...
-
- Oh, c'mon!
-
- If I wanna have, like fun, I'll use like Axel Foley
-
or like Theo Huxtable.
-
- You seem like a Theo to me.
-
- My fake name is Kelly.
-

- Kirby, like the video game.
-
The pink, little pink ball.
-
- Okay, what's your fake name?
-
- Lauren.
-
- And what's your real name?
-

My name is actually supposed to be pronounced, "sellum".
-

-
Ken, do you have a fake name when you go to Starbucks?
-
- My fake name is actually Ken.
-
So, I moved to the States when I was 12 or 13,
-
and I still went by my real name which is Kyohei.
-
- Well, thanks for lying to me for all these years, Ken.
-
- I've only known you for three months, but okay.
-
- What's your fake name?
-
- Bob.
-
My real name is Onyinyechukwu.
-
- So, don't take this the wrong way,
-
but you're not giving me Bob vibes.
-
- They know I'm not a Bob, but it's like,
-
it's an understanding.
-
They appreciate that I'm not wasting their time.
-
They're not wasting my time.
-
- I will give any J name.
-
I'll say John, Jamiroquai,
-
Jacob, or JoMariePayton as one word just to see.
-
My real name is Jarrett.
-
And they've spelled it so wrong, so many times
-
that I started a hashtag on my Instagram.
-
- What's your fake name?
-
- Dilly Dilly.
-
- And your real name?
-
- Danny Rosenberg.
-
- So, instead of making it easier for them,
-
you're actually making it harder for them.
-
- A little bit.
-
I like to spice up their day.
-
You know, they have to say a lot of names.
-
So, yelling out, Dilly Dilly, is kind of, I don't know...
-
- Well, there you have it folks.
-
The good.
-
The bad.
-
And the awkward.
-
Do you use a fake name at Starbucks?
-
Let us know.
-
I'm gonna get some coffee.
-
How does it feel like to be a fake Starbucks name?
-
- Oh, Zack is a popular name?
-
- I mean, sure.
-
- You know?

I kinda like that actually.

People are like trying to be me.
-
Trying to use my name.
