I've been talking about the katakana spellings. You'll notice that the katakana for "Sutōku" will translate as stoke, and the same goes for Sutokku. Sutakku will also translate into Stark. This leaves no transliteration for "stalk" and proves that it's all very arbitrary and you Google Translate isn't the end-all be-all. "Naito" also translates to Knight, should we change Night Rogue to Knight Rogue?

Stalk is what I thought it was when his name first came out, but Stark caught on instead. As well, stark is indeed a common meaning for that spelling in Japanese, so translating it as "Stalk" is a very pointed choice on Bandai's part.
