Rudy, it is as real as it gets.
The name
Starbuck is from the Herman Melville novel Moby Dick. Yet, the Starbuck name goes all the way to a norse Viking origin which meant a
"person of imposing appearance, great or grand bearing." The coffee entrepreneurs who use the twin tailed siren as their symbol claim they did it because of the mariner name "Starbuck." Yet, one could throw some conspiracy spin on it and say that the symbol was the foreboding appearance, which a siren has, and that her call would lead mariners to their death. It is interesting how many symbols of the corporate world have matches in the occult. But then, that would just be a "conspiracy theory?"
