BBC Sherlock Fan Forum - Serving Sherlockians since February 2012 / Sherlock aliases

(I don't know if this would fit better into "Sherlock Games". Anyway.)

I thought about how Sherlock will need to use fake names and identities now that he's playing dead.
Aaaand then I thought it might be fun to think some up!

I thought about how absolutely cute it would be if he would use the name "Hamish", as it is John's middle name and because John had suggested it as a baby name.

So he might disguise as... Hamish McDoyle, the astrophysicist. He's Scottish (yes, he will need to do an accent ), single, no kids. Oh, and ginger. He dresses properly though not posh. Shirts with cequered patterns and linen slacks. And, "no, he's not interested, he's recently been divorced and isn't looking for something right now."

Okay, I hope you get what I'm aiming at :D

Haha that's a great alias...not sure I can think of one right now but I'm a secret lover of Gingerbatch too...I can always imagine him going ginger as a disguise...

Oh the poor man; his hair will fall out if you get hold of him!

Haha, I seem to be to be not very good at placing threads into the right category...

I imagine him using fun names, too. :D
Like "Frank N. Stein, a German doctor" or "Mr. Moriah T. Wasreel".

Okay I see to be the only one having fun fooling around with that stuff :D
Haha, sorry, I hope you at least enjoy reading my suggestions!

I got one. Hamnet Shakespeare.. It's an English name, so he can use his accent. And if you research, you'll find out that William Shakespear really DID have a son by that name. And, if he goes ginger, he's gotta remember to do his eyebrows too!! loved the pic of ben in red hair!!

Or Frank N Furter..a German chef.

Or Paul E. Scar...a traffic cop.

Or Hy Perin- Flate... A guy who works at the tyre shop.

Or ...erm....what about "Benedict Cumberbatch"?
Sherlock could never be suspected of having invented it - actually sounds like real...

Or Timothy Carlton. figure that one out if you can.

I LOVE the funny ones that davina wrote!!

How about-- DeL Icious?

Like the Timothy Carlton but won't he get muddled up with his dad...oh wait...he's not Sherlock's dad he's Ben's dad. This is getting confusing!

What about:

Ollie Can...the motor mechanic

Mark Wright...the soldier

He could go undercover as an airline pilot named Martin Crieff.

These are pretty good!

Oh, Martin Crieff, yes, that would be awesome. And coincidentally John will be on one of his flights! (Because I bet Sherlock can learn how to "fly some plane" in no time ;))

On the dvds in one commentary Ben got Lestrade confused with Rupert Graves so you are in good company.

Peter Black works for me
