If you are a beginner and purchased your orchid at a grocery store, more than likely it is of the genus Phalaenopsis. Most common orchids, especially Phalaenopsis, are hybrids and it is difficult or impossible to identify the name. This isn’t to say your orchid can’t be identified. In many cases, it might be possible to somewhat identify the parents of your orchid.

The best way is do an image match search.

Your first one looks a lot like Oncidium Katrin Zoch (unless it’s variegated which I’m not spotting it won’t be the ‘Mieke’ variety).
Second one looks a lot like Oncidium ‘Titanium Treasure’, sadly that’s a commercial name so the heritage I don’t think is known.

Your second one might be a ‘Stribing Favorite’. It looks almost exactly like mine, minus you have spots on the lip while I have more stripes. Not much info is available about this particular variety.
