Canon Story: A Study in Scarlet
Title: By Any Other Name
Author: scfrankles
Rating: G
Author's Notes: “I know well that I have it in me to make my name famous.” “Sherlock Holmes” is an unusual name, is it not?



“I know I have it in me to make my name famous,” said Holmes.

“Indeed!” declared his new flatmate. “Soon everyone will know the name ‘Sherwood Holmes’!”

Holmes frowned. “It’s ‘Sherlock’.”

“My apologies,” said Watson. “Everyone will know the name ‘Sherlogg Holmes’!”

“That’s still…”

“‘Sherlott’?”

“No.” Holmes sighed. “Perhaps I don’t have it in me to make my name famous.”

*falls over laughing* Oh, I'm going to call him "Sherbert Holmes" from here on in ^_^

*smiles at perfect petal* *attempts to pick it up* *petal falls down between keys* *attempts to fish petal out* *fingertip becomes wedged* *frantic yanking occurs* *fingertip remains wedged* *spends 5 hours in A&E thinking dark thoughts*

And then there was the time when a typo in one of Watson's articles rendered him as Shylock.

There was also the time Watson's editor misheard him, and that week we had the adventures of Charlotte Holmes... ^^"

And what a day that was. :) :)

Sherbet! And all this time, I thought the name was Sheldon.

[scfrankles.livejournal.com]

Of course his name's not Sheldon! That would be ridiculous... (:P)

[godsdaisiechain.livejournal.com]

Apologies. I would not want to be ridiculous. ; o

'Oh, pardon me! I thought Sheer Luck was just a nickname the Yarders gave you.'

[scfrankles.livejournal.com]

Oh, Watson - you and your pawky humour... *falls over laughing*

[tardisjournal.livejournal.com]

ROFL! No wonder Sherlock Holmes gave up trying to make his name famous. :-p

[scfrankles.livejournal.com]

Yes, indeed ^_^ (Poor chap ^^")

[morelindo.livejournal.com]

Hee!

[scfrankles.livejournal.com]

^__^ Thanks ^^

It has to be said that without ACD we all would stumble just like your Watson here over hearing Holmes' odd first name for the first time. This is hilarious! :)

[scfrankles.livejournal.com]

ACD does go in for some pretty unusual names - and nobody ever says: "Sorry, I didn't quite catch that." :P

Thank you very much ^_^
