He has stated that he gained his nickname while with the Phoenix Jazzmen. He once performed wearing a black and yellow jersey with hooped stripes that bandleader Gordon Solomon had noted made him look like a bumblebee, thus he became "Sting." He uses Sting almost exclusively, except on official documents. However, his current wife Trudy Styler, affectionately refers to him by his real name, Gordon.

Because the name "gordon" doesn't fit a rock star.
