“Holmes: a deduction. The new partner at my publisher’s contacted you to query a detail, didn’t he?”

Holmes was surprised. “Yes. You and Mrs. Watson were away.”

“Another deduction,” Watson continued. “You’ve been removing ‘unimportant’ facts from your brain-attic.”

“Correct again!” said Holmes. “How did you work it out?”

“Because…” Watson brandished the Strand magazine. “…my ruddy name is John!”

Poor Watson...but if they will call each other by their surnames...

Finally, a plausible reason for the mistake.

There is another: Will the real Dr John Watson please stand up (http://archiveofourown.org/works/525681)

I know ^___^ Holmes is often referred to as "Sherlock Holmes" but Watson is only ever referred to as "Doctor Watson." I'm not sure that even Mrs. Watson ever actually calls him "John". It's no wonder everyone loses track of his Christian name ^^

It greatly amuses me to blame Holmes for the mistake ^^

And I have read your story now - an interesting addition to the debate ^_^

*bows low* Thank you - it does amuse me to think Holmes might have been the one behind the slip ^_^
