Interesting.

I didn't know Gregory's etymology and to be honest, I've always wondered what Sherlock meant by "is that why you're calling yourself Greg?". I just assumed that he was convinced Greg coudn't be Lestrade's real name but was a fake name he used to be incognito. Yet, I thought Sherlock's reaction to that first name was kinda weird. Now it makes much more sense. Thanks for sharing

This, from the Lion's Mane:

When at last I returned to the body I found that a little group of wandering folk had gathered round it. Stackhurst was, of course, still there, and Ian Murdoch had just arrived with Anderson, the village constable, a big, ginger-moustached man of the slow, solid Sussex breed - a breed which covers much good sense under a heavy, silent exterior. He listened to everything, took note of all we said, and finally drew me aside.

Wow!! I just want to say "THANK YOU!" I learned so much from you people!
