Fics like What’s in a Name?

"Look, just meet him, will you? I promise you'll like him." "Yeah, all right. Fine, I'll meet this mystery man of yours. What's his name?" That was a very good question. "Shir--" Lestrade started, then stopped abruptly. What had he been planning on saying? Shirley? And what male name started with 'Shir?' In desperation, Lestrade looked around the room. Shirbook? Shirdoor? Shirframe? Shirknob? "Shir--lock. Sherlock. His name is Sherlock." Or: In a misguided attempt at altruism, Lestrade sets John up with a tall, dark, and handsome bloke named Sherlock. Too bad Sherlock doesn’t exist.
