stan's middle name
i've been thinking about changing it for a while -- his name's been stanley oliver levitt for the longest time. eventually, i might change the surname too. funnily enough the origin story for the surname was like. my friend from wayyy way back went to italy and bought a bottle of water with the brand name levissima (i thought it was levissimo til i just googled it). she kept repeating it cuz it's a fun word to say i guess and we ended up using it for howard's surname. he was a very new character at the time i think. it went levissima=leviss and then eventually i changed it to levitt, coincidentally like joseph gordon-levitt. anyway, i don't know if i love it anymore.
to the point though, i was looking for middle names for stan and some website had "bowie" and i was like oh that's funny. i imagined his mum being a big david bowie fan. but stanley bowie levitt sounds dumb so i think i'll make it stanley david levitt. she's a big fan of those classic names so, i can definitely see her choosing this. Stanley David Levitt.
