A Study in Scarlet: By Any Other Name

Canon Story: A Study in Scarlet
Title: By Any Other Name

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.”

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

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

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

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! :)
