My Name is What?

Barista: May I please have your name sir?

Me: uh, Sam. (the uh comes into play in processing what the barista was asking me.)

Barista: uh, Sam. Ok, thank you.

That was it. I patiently waited for my drink to be prepared and once it was ready, I picked up my cup and saw the following on it:

The Barista Gave Me a New Name: Hassaim

Special.
