What’s your “Coffee Name”?

Since I got hooked up with Starbucks coffee back in college, I always get the worst typo in my coffee name. Maybe people aren’t that familiar with the nick Abe (pronouced as ‘eyb‘ from the late US Pres. Abe Lincoln). Hence, a long list of coffee names came into being – Aim, Ave, Ape, Eve, Eb, etc…

Thus, like everybody else, I started getting my own coffee name – Archie, the character from the comic book. It’s short, familiar, easy to pronounce and spell.

Still, there are a whole bunch of funnier coffee names like Ever or Life. And the barista shouts “One venti mocha frappuccino for Ever!“.

i would want to have a coffee name of “Free”.
So the barista would say: One venti mocha frappuccino for Free! that would be very great… :) I bet, everyone would go to the counter and grab that one…

i used an acquaintance’s name once i bought a frap at Starbucks. the barista said it was a nice name. that day, i decided to use that name whenever i buy my frap from that Starbucks branch :)

i just can’t say the name for some confidential matters :D
