a name sticks
a name continues to be used
If a name sticks, people continue calling someone or something by that name for a long time.
Hear it in real life
Why does everyone call her Red?
It was a joke at first, but the name stuck.

The mistake everyone makes
Not: The name sticks on.
Say: The name sticks.
For a name that continues to be used, say "the name sticks" without adding "on."
