Wow, this joined query is super faster then intersect(10x), thanks a lot!!
Regarding that I have to make a join for every term, I would think it would be more consuming. Is there any limit of joins or something similar which I should be aware of?

My first thought is to use a join. Does this do what you want?
select id
from customer_mapping cm1
join customer_mapping cm2 using ("ID")
where cm1."Name" = 'john
and cm2."Name" = 'peter';

ORDER, OFFSET and LIMIT should work just fine with the JOIN query.
You could also use your intersect in a subquery and then use ORDER,
OFFSET and LIMIT on the outer query, e.g.,
select *
from (
select "ID"...
intersect
select "ID" ...
) as common_names
...
