PICS: Starbucks making a balls out of spelling Irish names makes for brilliant viewing

Colm Boohig

Is your name a victim here?

It also makes for very frustrating viewing and any person with an Irish name who’s partial to the odd Starbucks will tell you all about how their name was defaced by the coffee giant.

There is now, brilliantly, an Instagram page especially dedicated to this most sensitive of subjects called irishstarbucksnames.

All your favourite names are grammatically violated here, like; Emer, Niall, Maeve and many, many more.

Take a look at these beauts.

At least @Starbucks squeezed an ‘m’ into Emer ??☘
