Stanga is actually a lousy name. It's like a football(soccer) game that you play one on one. Each player can only touch the ball once. There are goal posts and such and outs, etc'. I always thought it's a lousy name(I joined the band after it was formed) but got used to it. I guess it sounds better in english..
btw, I think that stang in german is a pole and in german slang it's a name for a whore. It makes since that's it's pole, cause in the game stanga, if you kick the ball and it hits the opponent's gate post pole, then you get 10 points
I called my cat Useppa because I was reading elsa morante's A History(which is a great book and I recommend it to everyone). One of the characters there is Useppe. When reading the book, I knew that I will name the next(actually, the first) cat I'm adopting Useppe. I found this cat, but apparently, he was a she, so I called her Useppa.
When I played in Useppa, we were always arguing about a name for the band. Since we were practicing at my place and we all liked my cat, we decided to call the band "Useppa". No one but us liked that name.
