It is my belief that Sting's real name is Gordon Summer.
Is he guitarist Andy Summer's brother?

Andy Summer's name is Andy Summers. (not the final 's')
Sting's name is Gordon Sumner (note the 'n')

I had known his name was G. Sumner from an old article in the
Village Voice, but did not actually remember his first name,
which cost me a pair of Elvis Costello tickets in a radio
giveaway.  Of course, the answer was lying there on the cover
of the (then) current issue of Musician magazine.
