That's what came to me,too some time ago. But I'd rather think that
Regulus made this name up when he and Sirius were still teenagers and
living at home. Stubby Boardman has the same initials as Sirius Black
so this could be some kind of mockery by Regulus naming his brother
like this and therefore calling him the director's (i. e.
Dumbledore's) stubborn man for he does not give a thing on the purity
of blood.
Then later Regulus himself discovered what Voldemort was up to and
then stole the Horcrux, brought it home and went underground by
feigning death. Then he could have tried to reveal himself by using this
mockery for himself and pretending to be Sirius so that he will
hopefully read this article. Only his brother would recognize it.

My only problem with this thought is that Regulus did not appear in
HBP. Maybe because he was to appear in book 7 or maybe because I was
wrong.
