Skype
Here is another frequently used communication service that revolutionized how we reach out to each other in the 21st century. Despite having given way to other online video call software types in later years, Skype’s pioneering contribution can never be underappreciated. As for their first name? Try “Sky Peer-to-Peer” out for size! When this turned out to be too much to chew on, they tried out “Skyper,” but that had unfortunately already been taken. So, they just cut off the “r” at the end!

Starbucks
You are probably familiar with the coffee empire’s employees’ penchant for misspelling your name. Ironically, this would be how their brand name would come about. When a founder happened to be reading Moby Dick, his eye stopped on one of the character’s names, “Starbuck.” He added an “s” at the end of the famous hero’s name and the rest is history. Next time that someone misspells your name, or gets it completely wrong, you might want to save it!
