Sadly it's true. Even Benedict claimed his name is ridiculous. Moffat loves him really.

It's a joke. And come on, guys...his surname is CUMberbatch. Benedict claims it sounds like fart.

Still, when you think about it, Sherlock Holmes is a pretty stupid name. :D We've just gotten accustomed to it.

I LOVE his name. As TV Tropes says:"Part of it's how well it comes together. Either half on it's own would sound a little ridiculous, but together, it's just awesome."
Just try saying it aloud:
Benedict Timothy Carlton Cumberbatch. It sounds as if it was MADE to be said.

"Benedict Cumberbatch ..." Sounds strange, but the name is original ;)

I think Steven Moffat said that as a joke, I don't think he meant it nastily. And he does have a point, Benedict Cumberbatch is a stranger name than Sherlock Holmes. However i think that Benedict Cumberbatch is a way more awesome name! It does suit him too, i'm glad benedict didn't change his acting name to Ben Carlton! :)

Benedict means "blessed" in Latin. And I like his name, very unique. I thought is name was difficult to pronounce before, but now it's not so hard.
