The name you give to the Starbucks worker because they never, ever get your name right. Instead of using your real name, use your Starbucks name.
Maryam: Alright, just a black coffee please.
Worker: Name?
Maryam: Mary
...............
Because people probably cant figure out Maryam, she used her Starbucks name, Mary, to make her life easier.

You: "I'll have a non-whip foam soy chai skim latte"
Barista" "What's your name?"
You: "Bob" (your Starbucks name, when your real name is like Oleksey).
This could also work the other way, if your name is Bob and you want to confuse them with something like Ainsleigh.

when they spell your name wrong at Starbucks, so you just accept it and go by it forever. Also to keep your identity a secret you don't use your credit card because then you might be accused of identity theft.
Starbucks barista: and your name is?
You: Hannah
(minutes later)
Starbucks barista: passion iced tea for Kiana!
(you thought they said your name when infact they said your Starbucks Name. You take the drink, and the fact that you mumble your name)

A Starbucks name is the name you give someone when your real name is very common or similar to other names and is often misheard.
Why did you give the barista "Matt" as your name when your real name is "Ben"?
Everyone hears "Matt" anyways, so now it's my Starbucks name.
