What's in a name ?

Here in SF, often I go to a Starbucks coffee shop near my apartment. While they take your order, they also ask for your name and write it down on the coffee cup. Once coffee is ready, they call your name.

"Your name, please"
"Harsha ..."
"Okay", scribbles something on the coffee cup.

2-3 minutes later ...

"...sha, your coffee !"
"Thanks!"

Harsha then checks the coffee cup, and starts laughing !

Okay, here are the variants of my name that ended up on the coffee cup:

"Arshad"
"Arsha"
"Asha"
"Shasha"
"Sha"
"Hasha"

...

Next time, I'll say my name is Harry or something ...

Yeah - I resort to Harry too, at times!
