I have a challenge for you guys. Figure out origin, etymology of "Sherlock".
How many names can you think of that end in "lock"? Havelock is a family name, perhaps with origin in
Danish prince so named, no clue as to meaning.
Then there is the "man from Porlock" who allegedly made Coleridge forget ending to Kubla Kahn.
