Stick with a fishy name? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

wanda

'fishy name?' is the definition.
'Wanda' can be an answer for 'name?'. I am unsure of the 'fishy' bit.

'stick with a' is the wordplay.
'stick' becomes 'wand' (a wand is a small stick).
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'wand'+'a'='WANDA'

(Other definitions for wanda that I've seen before include "A Fish Called - - : film" , "Fishy girl's name?" , "so-called fish?" , "Name of flower - or fish!" , "Female" .)
