On the drive home from work yesterday, I heard a segment on NPR discussing the use of an alias, in particular, Starbucks. The piece pointed out that for many folks with ethnic names, the use of “Coffee Names” has become commonplace.

INTERVIEWER: And then you thought up that lots of people use coffee names

I have an Aunt Flo. No, seriously - my great-aunt Florence goes by Flo. I don't think she drinks coffee, though :D

Next time I see you, remind me to tell you the Ban-dal Goes to Jack-in-the-Box story. It's a classic. :)
