Dana Sculley's father's nickname for her was Starbuck.

Carry on.

I didn't watch X-Files often, but I did hear that reference at least once. I always wondered about the backstory. (Assuming the writers had one.)

Ah, thank you!

That was "Quagmire", right?

This isn't news--there was an entire episode (maybe more, but one I saw) with all the related stuff in it, Ahab and soforth.

Starbucks Coffee is *not* named for that Starbuck, nor is it named for the Starbuck in Ogden Nash's play The Rainmaker. It is, in fact, named for an old mining camp in Washington state.
