Several web pages have popped up around the Internet where people post pictures of how their names were misspelled by their barista. For example, a woman named Michelle posted a picture of a cup with her name spelled “Missle.” A customer named Erin received a cup inscribed “AIR INN.” Yvonne and Caitlin received cups with “Evan” and “Kitten” written on them. To be fair, it can be awfully loud around those machines, and when the coffeehouse is crowded, it’s easy to mishear a name. But there are times where the employees may have been going for a laugh — like the case of a man who reportedly told the person behind the counter at McDonald’s that his name was “Stephen with a ph,” and received a receipt marked, “Phteven.” But God never gets our name wrong; it’s a sign of his love for us (see Exodus 33:17).
