No Cred' for Danton

Sorry for the long delay since last time.  Here's a story to make up for it.
    I go into Starbucks after work for a quick refresher and the guy behind the counter asks me what name to put on the cup. Being the ne'er-do-well that I am, I tell him to put Danton on the cup. He mispells it and I inform him of this. The guy writes it according to the correct spelling and then says that he spelt it the French way the first time. But, Danton is French!
