"student Starbuck Hersey."

Joke name I hope. Couldn't have been named after the coffee place, but possibly Starbuck on Battlestar Galactica?

Probably Starbuck from Moby Dick (which is where the chain got it's name)

Starbuck is a Capt Ahab's First Mate in Moby Dick which came out long before coffee shops or TV shows.
