Sting
When a sword has a name it is because it belonged to a hero, so when Bilbo named his sword he thought of himself as a hero and that's a step for Bilbo and very important to know when your writing a paper on the book.
Bilbo's sword Sting glows blue when Goblins and Orcs are near.
After using the small sword to vanguish the spiders in Mirkwood, Bilbo decides that it deserves a name and calls it Sting.
He defends himself from a giant spider in Mirkwood by killing it. He then looks at his sword and says something along the lines of, "I shall name you sting!" because of the sting of pain it caused the spider.
Bilbo gives it that name after he defeats the spiders in Mirkwood. He's referring to himself being the stinging fly who fights back, and the sword is his sting.
Sting is not a person. Sting is the name of the sword that came into Bilbo's possession. The runes on the blade say that the sword's name is Maegnas, literally 'sharp point', and could be translated as 'Sting'. Bilbo gave the weapon that name though without knowing the meaning of the runes.
