Notice where the phrase sounds natural.
It's booked under Nguyen. Oh, or try Linh, my wife might have made it.
For my mum's birthday we went to this seafood place, and they'd somehow lost our table even though it was booked under my name.
Fix the pattern
One small grammar move makes it sound right.
Not: It's booked on the name Sam.
Say: It's booked under Sam.
For a booking, the name goes after 'under'; 'on the name' is a direct translation and sounds wrong.
