Did Sting get his name from LOTR?

[Moses25]

"Sting is one of the most famous swords in literature and perhaps one of the most recognized swords in the world due to the success of the New Line Cinema motion picture trilogy, The Lord of the Rings."

Just thinking out loud here, folks.

Don't shoot the messenger.

(He was an English teacher tho, wasn't he?)

Cheers.

Well, thank God he wasn't reading LaMorte D'Arthur

From what I've read he got his name from when he was younger; he wore a black & yellow stripped shirt or sweater quite often.

I'm betting Goober from the "Mayberry RFD" t.v. show didn't get his name from his peanut allergy.
