Starbuck
Foto: Capitã Kara Thrace, codinome Starbuck - Battllestar Gallactica, nova série (2004).Existe uma lenda na Internet de que foi o tenente Starbuck (Dirk Benedict) da série antiga Battlestar Gallactica que inspirou (ou mesmo criou!) o nome Starbucks Coffee. Uma simples busca na net destroi ese mito, dado que a companhia foi fundada em 1971, com o nome de Starbucks Coffee, Tea and Spices (depois mudado para Starbucks Coffee Company), bem antes da série antiga vir ao ar (1978).

Name
The company is named in part after Starbuck, Captain Ahab's first mate in the book Moby-Dick, as well as a turn-of-the-century mining camp (Starbo or Storbo) on Mount Rainier. According to Howard Schultz's book Pour Your Heart Into It: How Starbucks Built a Company One Cup at a Time, the name of the company was derived from Moby-Dick, although not in as direct a fashion as many assume. Gordon Bowker liked the name "Pequod" (the ship in the novel), but his creative partner Terry Heckler responded, "No one's going to drink a cup of Pee-quod!" Heckler suggested "Starbo." Brainstorming with these two ideas resulted in the company being named for the Pequod's first mate, Starbuck.[19]
