When the kids were down from college (in Michigan) for Christmas we were all working on a "simple" name, thought about Bob, along with a picture of a bobber, then our daughter said how about Stanley and have a picture of the Octopus that is the mascot for the Red Wings. To explain, in the "old days" it took 8 playoff wins for a NHL team to win the stanley cup, this was signified by the 8 legs of the octopus, which is how he became a Detroit Red Wings Mascot, so that's what stuck, Stanley (although we are Hurricane fans too since we moved to NC in 2006, Go Canes!)
