Is his real name Benedict Cumberbatch?

Or is it a really cool stage name? Just, his parents must have been rather... I imagine he would have been teased a bit. But then I guess it could be shortened to Ben and then it'd be fine, so just ignore me.

I'd love to name a kid Sherlock or Merlin, but I'd never want my kid to go through that. lol. I'll have to get more pets.

Use it as a middle name? So they could just put it down as an initial or get rid of it if they really hate it? :P

Maybe. Theoretical future children. :P

Or get 2 cats and name them Merlin and Sherlock. That would be less trauma inducing for the named. ;)

Yeah, that was my point. I do love cats and they'd make good kitty names. :)

Actually, I think it'll be funny if you named one Sherlock and the other Holmes... :P
