Nearly everyone has been there, just after getting their coffee and rushing out of the shop only to look down at your flat white to see a mash-up of letters that is supposed to be your Irish name.
Although many people can see the humour in occurrences such as these, for many who face the problem often it can become quite annoying. To help curb this, one Cork coffee shop has introduced a system for all of the Cathals and Nialls out there.
Behind the counter at the Prince's Street Starbucks store in Cork, staff have hung an extensive list of Irish names and their phonetic pronunciations to help baristas when filling out people’s names, CorkBeo reports.
