His original name was Stingray, but they decided to change it.... :)

Seriously tho, yes it is. Unusual thought it might be.

We're all looking forward to the new range of basses coming through those hallowed gates.

BP does of course join some illustrious company bearing the name Sterling as a first name.....

actor Sterling Hayden.
race-car driver Stirling Moss (ok its a variant but still the same)
sports commentator Sterling Sharpe

The word derives from an Old English term meaning "little star." Also variant of a name meaning "easterner" given to pre-medieval refiners of silver.

Good thing Sterling was a boy. If it was a girl they were going with "Mother Of Pearl"

And you'd all still be playing fenders.
