Women's names on Coke bottles cause a big storm in the Charedi world
Coke has R' Landau's Hechsher and is the drink of choice for many Rebbe's at their tishes. However, they are running an ad campaign which features peoples names on the bottle labels as you can see below.
Some bottles have women's names on them (Tali, Savta) and some have men's names on them (Shay). The Charedi world is up in arms, how can they serve the Rebbe from a bottle with a women's name on it? R' Landau is putting pressure on Coca Cola to not distribute these bottles in Charedi areas. In the meantime here is 1 solution.

What possible tzniut violation is there in seeing a woman's name? How do they read Torah each week? When they pray for someone who is ill, do they no longer use their mother's name?
